Doctors applying to get their Karnataka Medical Council (KMC) registration numbers and hence a license to practise are being given smart biometric cards in an attempt to eliminate quacks. So far, over one lakh doctors have applied for the same.

Started in January 2016, these smart cards will be issued to anyone who has just completed MBBS degree. For existing practitioners, the card is being issued at the time of license renewal. CME points will also be added to the card.

CMEPEDIA provides an additional service by compiling a portfolio for online CME activity.
