The Hong Kong Academy of Medicine has established the "Shenzhen-Hong Kong Medical Specialty Training Center" in Shenzhen. Dozens of mainland doctors in the emergency department, clinical oncology department, nephrology department, general obstetrics and gynecology department will start training this year, and graduate in four years at the earliest, becoming the whole of China The first batch of specialist doctors.
If these doctors come from an accredited medical school and have accredited qualifications from the medical college, they will no longer need to be trained in Hong Kong, and they will become officially registered doctors after five years of working in a public organization.
Ling Xiaozhi, president of the Public Medical Doctors Association, said frankly that if a doctor is not trained in Hong Kong, there will always be cultural differences, and the same applies to foreign doctors and mainland doctors.
He also expressed concern that the relevant courses in the Mainland are formulated by the medical college. In the future, the medical college will be like a rubber stamp when actually reviewing the qualifications, calling on the medical college to keep its promise and allow the sub-academy to examine the situation of each applicant and whether it is true. To reach the standard, especially when the plan is extended beyond the Hong Kong University Shenzhen Hospital, it is necessary to ensure that applicants receive quality training in these hospitals.

At the end of October this year, the government passed an amendment to relax the threshold for the introduction of overseas doctors. Most people worry that the amendment will make it easier for mainland doctors to come to Hong Kong. However, there is no training system for specialists in the Mainland. To register, you must also receive 6 to 7 years of specialist training in Hong Kong.
However, the medical college set up the "Shenzhen-Hong Kong Medical Specialty Training Center" in Shenzhen. In four years, the first batch of dozens of domestic mainland specialists will graduate. If there are doctors from a recognized medical school and the medical college recognizes their qualifications, There is no need to train in Hong Kong anymore, and even non-Hong Kong doctors can come to Hong Kong and obtain formal registration after working in a public organization for five years.
Ling Xiaozhi bluntly said that if a doctor is not trained in Hong Kong, there will always be cultural differences. This will also happen to foreign trained doctors. It is not just for mainland doctors. For example, he pointed out that the basic medical care in the UK is complete and there are generally fewer specialists. Handling simple cases, but Hong Kong specialists need to know how to handle these cases.
The Mainland's specialist training system is still in its infancy, and the time it can supervise its work in Hong Kong is actually very short. The situation is more worrying.

He continued that the courses of the "Shenzhen-Hong Kong Medical Specialty Training Center" are designed by the medical college. Although the medical college promises not to directly recognize the graduates of this course, it will inevitably cause concern that the medical college will actually review it in the future. It's just like a rubber stamp.
He appealed to the Medical College to keep its promise and allow the sub-academies to examine each applicant's situation and whether it is really up to the standard.
He is particularly concerned about the system and teacher qualifications of these hospitals when the plan is extended to other hospitals in Shenzhen in the future. "We need to observe the quality of chief physicians in other hospitals. Does it have objective standards for evaluation? Other hospitals may differ greatly. , I agree with case by case (case by case) to check to ensure that the supervision and review are appropriate. It should be slow rather than fast. It is easy to make mistakes and omissions, which will be questioned."
The Medical College established the "Shenzhen-Hong Kong Medical Specialty Training Center" in Shenzhen. It recruited the first batch of students this year and is expected to graduate in four years.

In addition, he believes that medical colleges should disclose the content of training courses and assessment frameworks as soon as possible. As for the candidates for examiners, he believes that the members of the chief examination committee should include Hong Kong people, and the proportions should be evenly divided.
He said that it is also appropriate for the mainland to formulate the exam questions, but the medical college must review these questions and the marking scheme. After the exam is over, the exam questions should also be reviewed based on the performance of the candidates. "Will many people answer the questions, or Many people answered incorrectly, reflecting that the question was too shallow or too deep."
