The National Medical Commission (NMC) in India has introduced new guidelines for the eligibility qualifications of faculty in medical institutions in 2022, aimed at enhancing the quality of medical education and healthcare in the country. The guidelines include an increased minimum publication requirement for promotion to professorship, the consideration of various types of publications, and mandatory courses in biomedical research and medical education technology. The guidelines also recommend reputable indexing databases and journals to improve the quality of research work. The NMC's efforts are expected to promote research collaboration, evidence-based clinical practice, and consistent teaching standards. However, it is essential to ensure that the recommended databases and journals are legitimate and credible. Overall, the NMC's initiatives to improve medical education in India are commendable, and it is hoped that they will lead to significant improvements in the quality of healthcare in the country.
