ANNEX B
Q&A on the Revised Schedule of the Medical
Registration Act
Q1:
Which schools have been added to the revised Schedule?
A:
Please refer to the "List of Medical Schools in the
Revised Schedule".
Q2:
Why wasn't the entire list of 176 schools from the pre-1993
Schedule restored?
A:
It is difficult to predict the nett longer-term effect of
expanding the Schedule on the balance of talent attraction
vs. talent loss from Singapore. In view of this uncertainty,
it would be prudent to limit the size of the expansion of
the Schedule and not restore the entire list of 176.
Q3:
When will the new Schedule come into effect?
A:
The new Schedule takes effect from 14 March 2003.
Q4:
I graduated from a medical school that has now been included
in the revised Schedule. Will my degree be recognised even
though I graduated before the new Schedule took effect on 14
Mar 2003?
A:
All medical graduates from the universities/medical schools
that have been added to the revised Schedule will be
eligible for conditional registration by the Singapore
Medical Council (SMC), including those who had graduated
before the implementation date of the new Schedule.
Graduates from these newly added medical schools who are
currently practising in Singapore under temporary
registration may apply to the SMC for conversion to
conditional registration.
Q5:
I graduated from a medical school that is not on the revised
Schedule. Will I be able to practise in Singapore?
A:
Graduates from medical schools that are not on the revised
Schedule may still apply to the SMC to practise under
temporary registration.
Q6:
How were the schools on the revised Schedule selected?
A:
The SMC considered all medical schools listed in the World
Health Organisation's World Directory of Medical Schools,
and took into account many factors in making their
recommendations as to which schools should be included in
the revised Schedule. Some of these factors included the
medium of instruction in the schools as well as the
compatibility of the schools' curriculum and training with
our local system and practice.
Feedback and recommendations were also sought from the
professional associations - Academy of Medicine Singapore,
College of Family Physicians Singapore, Singapore Medical
Association - and from the public healthcare clusters -
National Healthcare Group and Singapore Health Services.
Due to the need to limit the number of medical schools being
added to the list, it should not be inferred that any
medical school that does not appear on the Schedule is
necessarily inferior to those that have been included.
Q7:
When will the quota on Singaporean medical students at the
Universities of Melbourne and Sydney be removed?
A:
The quota will be lifted with effect from the 2003
admissions exercises, which will affect the enrolment into
medicine at Melbourne and Sydney from 2004 onwards.
Q8:
Will this revision of the Schedule lead to an oversupply of
doctors in Singapore in 10 years time? If that happens, will
the Ministry revise the Schedule again?
A:
MOH's assessment is that this revision of the Schedule will
not lead to an oversupply of doctors for two reasons.
Firstly, we have limited the number of medical schools that
have been added to the expanded list. Secondly, all
foreign-trained doctors must have a job offer from a local
employer (usually within the public sector) before they can
be considered by the SMC for registration. There is little
danger of oversupply within the public sector as the
manpower establishments in the clusters are closely
monitored by MOH. MOH will review its registration policies
as and when the need arises.
