<h1>Policy intervention to discourage medical education abroad urged, coupled with measures to keep domestic medical education affordable.</h1> Policy intervention to dissuade medical education abroad is urged because the very low pass rate of FMGs in India's qualifying exam indicates sub par quality overseas, including inadequate clinical training. The Survey notes hardships faced by FMGs, regulatory complications requiring court interventions, and recommends pairing discouragement of foreign study with measures to keep domestic medical education costs reasonable. It also flags geographic and specialty skews in domestic seat distribution, producing urban rural doctor density imbalance and neglect of certain specialties, which may aggravate future specialist shortages.
