THE LICENTIATE COMMITTEE OF THE MEDICAL COUNCIL OF HONG KONG TODAY ANNOUNCED THAT 112 CANDIDATES HAVE PASSED THE FINAL PART OF THE LICENTIATE EXAMINATION FOR UNREGISTRABLE DOCTORS WHILE 30 OTHERS HAVE FAILED.

THIS PART OF THE EXAMINATION, HELD BETWEEN JULY 4 AND 8, WAS AN ORAL EXMINATION OF ABILITY TO APPLY PROFESSIONAL KNOWLEDGE TO CLINICAL PROBLEMS. CANDIDATES WERE GIVEN A 30 MINUTE EXAMINATION BY TWO PANELS OF EXAMINERS IN EACH OF THE THREE DISCIPLINES MEDICINE, SURGERY AND OBSTETRICS AND GYNAECOLOGY,

THE 30 CANDIDATES WHO FAILED MAY RESIT THE EXAMINATION NEXT YEAR AND ON THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE EXAMINATION BOARD, THOSE WHO FAILED IN ONE SUBJECT WILL BE REQUIRED TO RESIT ONLY THAT SUBJECT. CANDIDATES FAILING IN TWO SUBJECTS WILL BE REQUIRED TO RESIT THE WHOLE OF THIS PART OF THE EXAMINATION.

THE SUCCESSFUL CANDIDATES WILL NOW BE REQUIRED TO UNDERGO A PERIOD OF ASSESSMENT AND TRAINING OR EXTERNSHIP IN HOSPITALS APPROVED BY THE MEDICAL COUNCIL.

AN EXTERNSHIP WILL NOT NORMALLY EXCEED 18 MONTHS AND WILL BE DIVIDED INTO THREE SIX-MONTHLY PERIODS DEVOTED TO THE VARIOUS MEDICAL SPECIALTIES. EXTERNSHIPS ARE DUE TO COMMENCE IN SEPTEMBER THIS YEAR IN HOSPITALS APPROVED BY THE MEDICAL COUNCIL.

AFTER COMPLETING THEIR EXTERNSHIPS TO THE SATISFACTION OF THE LICENTIATE COMMITTEE, CANDIDATES WILL BE GRANTED THE LICENCE OF THE MEDICAL COUNCIL OF HONG KONG WHICH WILL ENTITLE THEM, SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS OF THE MEDICAL REGISTRATION ORDINANCE, TO APPLY FOR FULL REGISTRATION TO PRACTISE MEDICINE IN HONG KONG.

REGISTRATION WILL CONFER ON THEM THE SAME RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES WITHIN HONG KONG AS OTHER QUALIFIED DOCTORS HERE BUT WILL NOT CONFER ANY RIGHT TO REGISTER OR SEEK REGISTRATION ELSEWHERE.
