I am a conditionally registered doctor. How do I request to change my supervisor? Must the supervisor be trained and approved by SMC?


Updated by SMC

Please approach your employer / department / Human Resource/Medical Affairs staff if you wish to request a change of supervisor. While the SMC must approve the supervisor, the appointment or change of supervisor is done by the institution.


The proposed supervisor must meet the prevailing criteria to  be a supervisor including having been trained under the SMC’s Supervisory Framework [PDF, 1.2 MB] criteria. 


Before the change of supervisor can be effected, your HR/Medical Affairs staff must submit the Letter of Undertaking completed by the proposed supervisor to SMC.
