I am an International Medical Graduate. What are the criteria for me to be registered as a doctor in Singapore?

Updated by SMC 8 found this helpful

You must have a basic medical qualification that is listed in the Second Schedule of the MRA 1997 (also see important notes [PDF, 24 KB]) or a postgraduate medical qualification that is listed in SMC’s List of Registrable Postgraduate Medical Qualifications [PDF, 146 KB]. An applicant for registration must fulfil SMC’s prevailing requirements, including an offer of employment with an SMC-approved healthcare institution.

For IMGs who have not completed housemanship, please refer to FAQ on getting a provisional licence in Singapore and start the postgraduate year 1 (PGY1) programme.

Every application for medical registration will be considered by SMC on its own merit and subject to SMC’s prevailing requirements which may change with time.
