MBBS students must complete internships in same institute: MUHS

New Delhi:

The Maharashtra University of Health Sciences (MUHS) has clarified that the undergraduate medical (MBBS) students will have to complete their mandatory 12-month internship at the same college where they are pursuing their degree. MUHS issued a circular on Tuesday, May 3, 2022, adhering to the new internship guidelines released by the National Medical Council (NMC).

“The provision made available to students until last year where one could pursue their internship at other universities in India, including deemed institutes/universities in Maharashtra, is now being discontinued. Students will have to clear their 12-month internship at the university they are enrolled in,” according to a circular issued by MUHS.

This comes weeks after medical aspirants sought clarity, especially since many would be completing their final-year exams in May and were still unsure about the internship prospects.

In July last year, the NMC issued the Draft Regulations for Compulsory Rotating Internship 2021, which said, “All Indian Medical Graduates shall complete their entire period of compulsory rotating internship training (CRMI) in the institution where they have pursued and completed their Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS).

This, however, received flak from students, who were attending lectures online, or at colleges in their hometowns. In response to student demand, the NMC in 2021 agreed to extend the provision for one year, taking into account the pandemic and lockdown.

Medical students in the state will now have to complete the mandatory 12-month internship in hospitals attached to the colleges where they studied MBBS. The Maharashtra University of Health Sciences (MUHS) issued a circular on Tuesday adhering to the new internship guidelines issued by the National Medical Council (NMC).

As per the old practice, students were allowed externships, which meant the opportunity to complete the mandatory internship in hospitals attached to medical colleges and universities other than the ones where they pursued the MBBS courses. Such a transfer was allowed to provide approval by the MUHS following due process. However, the new gazette issued by the NMC on internship guidelines disallows such transfer. Following the revised internship guidelines by the NMC, the MUHS issued the circular on May 2 stating that the process will stop from the date of the circular.

“After the new gazette on compulsory rotating medical internships regulations was declared by the NMC, the same was discussed in the academic council of the MUHS. As per the decision taken, all medical colleges are informed that the process of changing the medical college for internships which was allowed as per the amendments in the academic notification in 2012 will now be stopped for degree courses. This will be applicable from the date of the circular,” stated the circular.
