If a medical report is required, SMC will send an email to your registered email address requesting for you to obtain a medical report from your doctor. Details of the required information needed will also be given. The medical report will then either be submitted by yourself or by your doctor directly to SMC. The cost of the medical report will not be borne by SMC.

SMC will seek your assistance or permission if it requires any clarification or further information from your doctor.

To prevent any delay in your application, please ensure that all required documents or clarifications are submitted in time.

After assessment, SMC may require some or all the following before granting you registration:

a. that you disclose your health condition to your employer 

b. inform your Head of Department and/or clinical supervisor of your health condition,

c. submit regular medical reports from your physician certifying your fitness to practise. Further details pertaining to this will be given accordingly.

Your subsequent PC renewal application may require a submission of a medical report, and SMC may advise on whether you should apply for a one-year or two-year PC.

For provisionally registered doctors from the medical schools in Singapore, conditional registration (C-reg) may be granted instead of full registration (F-reg) after PGY1, if your health condition is not under control or in remission. This is because there may be a need for you to remain under supervision or to continue follow-up with your doctor to verify that your health condition remains controlled or in remission. The same requirement applies if your doctor reported that your health condition was only recently brought under control. 

If you were not granted full registration after successfully completing your PGY1 year, you will be advised by SMC how long you need to practise under C-reg before you may apply for F-reg. In general, a doctor must complete at least one year of clinical postings with satisfactory performance from the date he or she has been assessed to have achieved control or remission of his health condition before he or she may apply for F-reg. Only clinical practice will be taken into consideration for F-reg application. Administrative or research postings are not accepted for consideration.
