HKPDA opinion survey - Should Medical Council relax internship rules on non-local graduates?


http://hkpda.org.hk/MCHK2014.htm


  • Under the MRO, non-local medical graduates are required to sit the MCHK s examination (LMCHK) and to complete a 12month internship training before they could register as medical practitioners.
  • The purpose of such requirements is to safeguard medical standards and to ensure non-local graduates will become familarized with the local healthcare system and practices before they are allowed to registered as medical practitioner.
  • To cope with manpower shortage in certain clinical areas in the public sector (e.g. A&E, Radiology, Medicine), it has been reported that the government has asked the MCHK to consider granting exemption for part of the licensing exam and the internship for overseas specialists. (  http://m.news.sina.com.hk/news/article/3187653/2/20140213 )
  • In the last few years, several measures have been implemented to ease manpower requirement in the HA.

(1) Annual medical students intake has been increased from 250 to 420.
(2) Requests for limited registration from the HA have all been approved.
(3) The frequency of licensing exam for non-local graduates has been increased from once per year to twice per year.


  • The HKPDA is of the view that the proposed relaxation is a major issue and would like to seek your views on this. The replies will be summarized and sent to the 14 elected members of the MCHK in the last week of this month.
