香港醫學會有關醫療人手及

非本地培訓醫生在港執業之問卷調查

 

香港醫學會在2019年3月,就醫療人手及非本地培訓醫生在港執業等議題進行了問卷調查,徵詢全港註冊醫生的意見。約有14,761份問卷成功送抵收信人,有效的回覆共有2,981份,回覆率為20.2%。

 

調查發現,近八成(77%)的回覆贊同香港有醫生短缺的情況,當中絶大部分(90%)認為短缺只局限於公營醫療系統。而導致短缺的原因,大部分認為是政府政策失誤及醫院管理局管理不善。

 

另外,有接近七成(68%)有回覆的受訪者*不贊成豁免執業資格試,讓非本地培訓的醫生免試在香港正式註冊執業。在贊成可豁免執業資格試的回覆中,大部份認為他們需擁有專科培訓,甚至專科醫生資歷,並且要在醫院管理局或大學教學醫院工作三至五年,方能在港正式註冊。

 

被問到是否同意豁免已通過執業資格試的專科醫生整個實習期,有超過七成回覆表示贊同,但該醫生需在公立醫院工作,才可正式註冊。支持需在公立醫院工作3年或以上(36%),又或是6年或以上(33%)的回覆數目相約,各佔三成多。

 

上述數據反映業界普遍認為非本地培訓的醫生來港執業必須考取執業資格試,但歡迎進一步優化專科醫生來港執業的實習期安排,以便引入更多專科人材,服務香港市民。

* 因為有500多位參加調查的醫生在開首表示香港沒有醫生短缺的情況,故此不需要回答這部份關於豁免執業資格試的問題。

The HKMA Opinion Poll on Medical Manpower and

Non-locally Trained Medical Graduates to Practice in Hong Kong

 

In March 2019, the HKMA conducted a survey to solicit doctors’ views on Medical manpower and non-locally trained medical graduates to practice in Hong Kong.  A total of 2,981 valid responses were received out of 14,761 questionnaires successfully sent, giving a response rate of 20.2%. 

 

It was found that 77% agreed that there is a shortage of doctors in Hong Kong, within which the vast majority (90%) expressed that the shortage is confined to the public medical sector only and the reasons behind are failures in Government policies and mismanagement of the Hospital Authority.

 

Besides, 68% of those replied* DO NOT agree to give non-locally trained medical graduates full registration to practice in Hong Kong without Licensing Examination. Within those agreed, most indicated that the candidates must possess trainee or even specialist status, and serve in Hospital Authority / University Hospitals for 3-5 years before given full registration.

 

When asked if the whole internship of those Specialists who passed the Licensing Examination can be waived, over 70% agreed, but on the condition that they have to work in public hospitals for a certain period of time before they are granted full registration. There is no definite answer to how long they have to work in public hospitals, those supported 3 years or above and 6 years or above both rated more than 30%.

 

The above findings showed that the medical profession generally maintained that all non-locally trained medical graduates must pass the Licensing Examination before they can practice in Hong Kong. However, the internship arrangement of those Specialists who passed the Licensing Examination can be further adjusted to facilitate importation of medical talents for the benefits of the general public.

 

 

*around 500 respondents chose NO to shortage of doctors in Hong Kong in the first question and they were not required to answer this part related to waiving of Licensing Examination.
