[Mehrin]

Hello. I am fresh medical graduate from Bangladesh. I completed my internship 3 months ago. My husband is a businessman and want to settle in Singapore. My mbbs degree is not recongnized by SMC. Actually I need help. I don't know anything about medical system in Singapore. How I can practice medicine here? Actually I was planning for sit in MRCP exam. Will it help me here?? I read about medical license exam of Singapore, is it very hard to pass ?? Where I will find any book or syllabus to prepare myself for the license exam?? Or any other way to practice medicine in Singapore??

In the previous posts, there's enough information about how SMC considers non recognised degrees.

It won't be an easy walk even with MRCP.

As taxico said in another thread, if you are interested, an allied health position maybe the way to go, if you want to live in Singapore. Or a fellowship position ...

It will be easier if you had a UK or recognised qualification.

Turn around time can be about 5 months.

Don't sweat.

PR won't make any difference for SMC.

Heck, even holding citizenship won't matter

As advised in another thread going for allied health services is better.

By the way you do know the work load of clinical associate is more or less, more than house officers ?

Thankyou so much for the prompt reply. I don't mind the work load. I just need a job. so all I can do now is wait for them to reply meanwhile do mrcog..
Also 1 more query. What about applying for an observership?? Will that help??

[Shwesgm]

It ll take another 1 year for me to complete my mrcog. What if I don't get a job till then.. I don't ve any other option to practise here.

You are not alone in that boat of just want to work. And not many succeeded. Including Citizens.

Nope, if you can't accept the truth, as adviced by Taxico, study to join in allied health, like IVF and such.

Last I knew, even for fellowship, the list is long, from top Asian universities. And that will NOT help.

Oh, as a CA, from what I know, you won't get much hands on if that's what you want - be prepared to be one level lower than a HO.

PS, SMC doesn't have a permit to observe.

Thanks a lot ...

Thanks a lot ...

Of late Singapore is trying to bring back citizens who studied overseas.

In that grand scheme of things, unrecognized degrees became less interesting for SMC.

But don't take it as discouraging.

Keep trying.

Alternate is to try to join private hospitals to treat foreign patients.

But I can't work in private hospitals without a recognised mbbs degree right.. my only options are sgh and kkh right??

[Shwesgm]

There is just one vacancy in sgh for clinical associate job and that's been open since february. Will I be informed if they are not shortlisting me??

Maybe they forgot to remove the ad happens sometimes...

Don't expect them to tell you if you are short listed or not.

I can't confirm, but you should reach out to agencies placing in private hospitals on how that works.

As of now I know 3 dentists and 4 physicians doing non medical jobs, all with Indian degrees.. they are PR or SC

[Shwesgm]

That is really sad
