💨 Abstract

The National Medical Commission has included medical duty at the Char Dham Yatra in Uttarakhand under the District Residency Programme (DRP), a mandatory requirement for postgraduate medical students in India. While participation is voluntary, the move aims to provide training for postgraduates in resource-challenged health services, particularly high-altitude medical complications. Several doctors have already volunteered, and the NMC considers this an opportunity for postgraduate training.
