NMC asks medical colleges to set up support units for students with disabilities

NEW DELHI: Every medical college regulated by the National Medical Commission (NMC) will now have to set up an "Enabling Unit" for students with benchmark disabilities, providing a single point of contact for reasonable accommodation, academic and clinical support, and a barrier-free learning environment. The move follows the NMC's new guidelines on assessing students with benchmark disabilities for MBBS admissions.
