You must have a basic medical qualification that is listed in the Second Schedule of the MRA 1997 (also see important notes) or a postgraduate medical qualification that is listed in SMC’s List of Registrable Postgraduate Medical Qualifications. 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.
