2 The Singapore Medical Council (SMC) would consider granting provisional (for housemanship) or conditional medical registration (as medical officers) to International Medical Graduates (IMGs) who possess a basic medical qualification obtained from schools listed in the Schedule, subject to an offer of employment with an approved healthcare institution in the public sector. Currently, the Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine is recognised by the SMC for medical registration.
3 Any foreign-trained doctor who possesses a basic medical degree from a medical school where the medium of instruction is not in the English Language must submit evidence of proficiency in English Language in the form of either the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) test or the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or Occupational English Test (OET) before the SMC considers his or her application for medical registration. The doctor must achieve the following minimum score:
· IELTS - Minimum score of 7 for ALL components (Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking).
· TOEFL - 250 marks for computer-based test or 600 marks for paper-based test or 100 marks for internet-based test
· OET - Grade B and above
4 To be considered for medical registration, IMGs are also required to pass the relevant national licensing exam in the country where they obtained the basic medical degree if this is a pre-requisite to medical registration and practice in the country. In other words, you'll have to pass the national licensing exam in China before you can be considered for medical registration with the SMC. Alternatively, you may be considered for conditional medical registration if you have obtained a registrable postgraduate qualification. The list of registrable postgraduate medical qualfication is attached for your information.
