"The standards here are high, so we are thinking of waiving Part-A of the exam for Membership of the Royal College of Surgeons (MRCS) for MS and DNB degree holders from India," President RCS Norman Williams said today.
It will make India the first country to be given such an exemption, Williams said here.
At present, Indian doctors have to pass a two-part exam for MRCS course required for surgeons to progress to higher specialist training in Britian.
A four-member team of RCS's Council is here to look at the possibilities of exchange programmes in the area of fellowship training.
"We are considering having a system whereby English doctors can train in India and Indian doctors can come to the UK for advanced training," he said.
RCS is an independent professional body committed to promoting the highest standards of surgical care for patients and regulating surgery in England and Wales. (more)
