Medical schools do not generally share information concerning the history of their students’ health conditions with either MOH or SMC after they graduate.

If you declare to SMC at any time that you have a health condition that may affect your fitness to practise as a doctor, or to provide safe care to your patients, and indicate that this health condition had been present when you were a medical student, SMC may seek further information from your medical school about the status of your health condition at that time, if it is relevant to assessing your health condition at present. This may be relevant if it clarifies how long your health condition has remained stable and in remission, or if you have had exacerbations of your health condition which affected your work.

SMC will not share such information obtained from the medical schools will not be shared with your employer or the healthcare institution that you work in, without your permission.
