New Delhi: Aspiring doctors will have to spend a year working in rural areas before getting their MBBS degrees, as the government has decided to make rural posting compulsory for them.

Once this proposal becomes part of MBBS curriculum, a medical student, after completing 4.5 years of study and thereafter the hospital internship, will have to undergo a mandatory year-long house job in the form of a rural posting before getting the MBBS degree.

Till then, the degree would be provisional. The posting would be made mandatory in a designated rural area.

The MBBS graduates will be attached with a rural hospital and a nearby medical college during this one-year period.

They will also get a reasonable stipend from the NRHM for their services during this period. (PTI)
