(ii)
the Hong Kong Medical Council will try to minimize the time gap between the holding of different parts of the Licensing Examination so that the medical graduates may complete the entire examination within the shortest time span;
the medical graduates may be exempted from taking Part II (Use of Professional English) of the Licensing Examination provided that English is used as the medium of instruction in the course of their medical training;
(iii) the Hong Kong Medical Council will recommend to the Council's Licentiate Committee to consider adjusting the 12 months' period of internship training following the Licensing Examination, on the basis of individual performance and upon application by the medical graduates concerned.
These medical graduates may also be able to serve the community under limited registration if they obtain employment in those institutions specified under the Medical Council's Promulgation (No. 2) i.e. the University of Hong Kong, the Chinese University of Hong Kong, the Department of Health and the public hospitals administered by the Hospital Authority. While serving under limited registration, they can apply for and complete the Licensing Examination.
