Introduction
The Andhra Pradesh Medical Council (APMC) is a statutory regulatory body established under the Andhra Pradesh Medical Practitioners Registration Act, 1968 to oversee and regulate the practice of modern scientific medicine (allopathy) in the state of Andhra Pradesh. The Council is a corporate body constituted by the Government of Andhra Pradesh to ensure the registration, professional conduct, and ethical standards of medical practitioners practicing modern medicine across the state.
APMC’s mandate includes maintaining a register of qualified medical practitioners, granting and renewing registrations, and ensuring compliance with legal and ethical norms for doctors. The council functions as an autonomous authority, operating within the framework of both state legislation and national medical regulation standards set by the National Medical Commission (NMC).
The Council comprises elected and nominated members, including representatives from registered medical practitioners, the State Government, and key health administration officials. It is headed by a Chairman elected from among its members and supported by a Registrar responsible for administrative functions and maintaining the official register of medical practitioners.
Key Functions of APMC
Registration and renewal of registration of medical practitioners in Andhra Pradesh.
Maintaining and publishing the State Medical Register of qualified doctors.
Regulating the professional conduct, ethics, and discipline of registered doctors.
Taking disciplinary action in cases of professional misconduct or ethical violations.
Ensuring compliance with state and national medical laws and standards.
Courses and Practitioners Regulated by APMC
APMC regulates practitioners of modern scientific medicine (allopathy), including those holding qualifications such as:
MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine & Bachelor of Surgery)
Postgraduate Medical Degrees and Diplomas (MD / MS / DNB)
Super‑Specialty Medical Degrees (DM / MCh)
APMC does not regulate nursing, dental, physiotherapy, or traditional / AYUSH professions; these fall under separate statutory councils.
National Affiliation and Recognition
APMC operates in alignment with national medical norms and under the regulatory framework of the National Medical Commission (NMC), which has superseded the earlier Medical Council of India (MCI). This ensures that medical education, registration requirements, and professional practice standards in Andhra Pradesh are consistent with nationwide regulations.
