In a letter to the NMC, the IMA warned that the one-week period exposure especially in another system of medicine will only pave the way for a “half-baked mixopath, which is disastrous for the country”.

The National Medical Commission (NMC) came out with a draft regulation on internship that stated that a week’s training must be part of the rotational schedule in any of the Indian systems of medicine or AYUSH as an elective. In a letter to the NMC, the IMA warned that the one-week period exposure especially in another system of medicine will only pave the way for a “half-baked mixopath, which is disastrous for the country”.More Related News
