NMC to function as top medical education regulator operational from today
Sept. 26, 2020

Historic reform in the field of medical education has been effected by the Union Government with the constitution of the National Medical Commission (NMC), along with four Autonomous Boards.

The National Medical Commission (NMC), a new body, will function as the country’s top regulator of medical education from 25th September 2020, a day after the Centre dissolved the Board of Governors—Medical Council of India (BoG-MCI) through a gazette notification.

Along with NMC, the four Autonomous Boards of UG and PG Medical Education Boards, Medical Assessment and Rating Board, and Ethics and Medical Registration Board have also been constituted to help the NMC in day to day functioning.

The basic change that has happened is that the Regulator is now 'selected' on merits, as opposed to an 'elected' Regulator.
