Do I need to declare disciplinary action(s) taken against me during medical school?
Yes, you should declare any disciplinary action(s) taken against you during medical school, including those involving clinical attachments etc. which may be held at institutions outside of your medical school.
Nonetheless:
· You do not need to declare matters that were investigated, found to be untrue and subsequently dismissed.
· You may check with your medical school on what are the issues that would be declared in their Dean’s Testimonial or their report to SMC. Your declaration should align with the school’s disclosure.
Please note that if you commit any offence as a practising doctor, SMC reserves the rights to write to your medical school to release records that they may otherwise sealed.
