Medical exams will enhance standards, say diplomats
PETALING JAYA: The proposed plan to impose a licensing examination on all medical students studying overseas will spur medical schools to further improve the standard of education, academicians said.
Polish Ambassador Prof Dr Adam Jelonek said it was common for governments to implement such a ruling.
“We are not afraid that Malaysian students studying in our medical schools will have to sit for the exams because we consider our level of education as high and there should not be any problems for them to pass the exams,” he said.
There are 200 medical students in Poland and the numbers were expected to double in the next two years, he said, adding that Polish medical schools would also be arranging for twinning programmes here.
On Thursday, Health Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai told the Dewan Rakyat that Malaysian students would be able to pursue medical studies at any institution overseas once the Medical Act 1971 is amended but they would still need to obtain the “No Objection” certificate from the Higher Education Ministry.
After graduation, the students must sit for the licensing examination to determine their competency.
Australian High Commissioner to Malaysia Miles Kupa said Australia welcomed any policy that would enable Malaysia and Australia to cooperate more fully in the training of doctors.
“Australia is home to world-class medical schools. We are proud to have played a role in the training of many Malaysian doctors, both in Australia, and here in Malaysia at the Monash University Sunway Campus,” he said.
The Russian Centre of Science and Culture in Kuala Lumpur director Mikhail Popov said they had no problems with the proposed policy and would comply with the decision.
“We believe that the qualification system, if adopted, will further benefit Russian medical schools with graduates from Malaysia.
“They will become more competitive without the shield of ‘recognised university’,” he said.
There are about 3,000 Malaysians studying in five Russian state medical universities, he said.
