The National Medical Commission announced the complete phasing out of postgraduate medical diploma courses by the 2027-28 academic year. All specialist training will transition exclusively to three-year MD and MS degree programmes. The policy aims to standardize postgraduate medical education and improve specialist training quality, though concerns persist regarding potential shortages of district-level specialists in rural healthcare facilities.
