DMSF & NMC Compliance

Is DMSF NMC Approved?

Davao Medical School Foundation (DMSF) is fully aligned with the National Medical Commission (NMC) of India regulations and norms for Indian students studying MBBS abroad. The college\'s curriculum, duration, medium of instruction, and internship structure all meet NMC requirements for FMGE/NExT eligibility.

Why This Matters for Indian Students

Under current NMC rules, an Indian student who completes MBBS abroad can practice medicine in India only after meeting three conditions:

• NEET qualification before joining the foreign medical college
• Completed an MBBS course of minimum 54 months with 12-month internship in the same country
• Passed the NExT (formerly FMGE) licensing exam in India

How DMSF Meets Every NMC Requirement

• NEET — We only admit NEET-qualified Indian students
• Duration — DMSF MD program is 54 months / 9 semesters, fully NMC-compliant
• Internship — 12 months mandatory internship at DMSF\'s teaching hospital
• English medium — All teaching, exams, clinical training in English
• Recognised university — DMSF is WHO/IMED listed and CHED authorised

Proof: DMSF Students Pass FMGE

The strongest proof of NMC compliance is the FMGE pass rate. In December 2025: 600 DMSF students attempted, 500+ cleared in first attempt, 5 students earned All India Rank (AIR). See full results →
