Taking note of the frequent requests to change the participants/observers in the Revised Basic Course Workshop (rBCW) at various Medical Colleges, the National Medical Commission (NMC) has now laid down certain guidelines.

As per the new guidelines given by the President of the UG Medical Education Board (UGMEB), Dr Aruna Vanikar, now the concerned Nodal and Regional Centers and the medical institutes must ensure the availability of observers and participants before sending the suggestion to NMC. In case of changing the observer and participant at any later stage, the National Medical College (NMC) Board should present a proposal at least three days before the rBCW.
