NEW DELHI: The National Medical Commission (NMC) has warned against a fake letter issued regarding the College of Physicians and Surgeons (CPS) Diploma programme under the name of the Post Graduate Medical Education Board (PGMEB) secretary.
“It has come to the notice of the Post Graduate Medical Education Board (PGMEB) that a letter dated 29.05.2023 with the signature of under secretary, PGMEB regarding students under training of CPS Diploma course, future training examination and recognition is being circulated. The said letter is fake and has not been issued by the PGMEB,” said the board in an official notice.
