By bridging the gap between talent and demand for employment-ready healthcare professionals in foreign nations, this partnership with INC aspires to cultivate a cadre of medical experts equipped with the necessary competencies to flourish globally.
To empower healthcare professionals with the tools for international success, NSDCI will conduct a comprehensive array of preparatory examinations in diverse foreign languages, encompassing English, German, and other relevant tongues.
