The National Medical Commission of India has been granted a 10-year World Federation for Medical Education (WFME) recognition status, enabling Indian medical graduates to pursue training and practice in countries like the US, Canada, Australia requiring it. This makes India's 706 medical colleges WFME-accredited, with new ones automatically accredited too. WFME recognition will boost India's global medical education standards, increase international opportunities for Indian doctors, and promote collaboration. Starting 2024, WFME accreditation will be mandatory for international graduates to be licensed in the US. The recognition enhances prospects for Indian doctors globally while elevating medical education standards at home.
