Medical students from other countries are welcome to intern in Nepal.
The long-standing ban on international university students doing internships has been relaxed for a limited time. Internships are available to students who have finished their MBBS courses by April 2020.
The Medical Education Commission has decided to enable Nepali medical students from international universities to perform internships in Nepal, overturning a ten-year restriction. The move is intended to help Nepali students studying in Chinese universities.
Hundreds of Nepali students who finished their MBBS studies in China but were unable to complete their internships protested, requesting that they be allowed to complete their post-study practise in their native country.
