Medical education is a highly specialized field, and the qualifications of medical professionals can vary widely from country to country. In Singapore, the Ministry of Health (MOH) is responsible for regulating the medical profession and setting the standards for medical education. As such, only medical degrees that are recognised by the MOH are considered valid in Singapore.
The following medical degrees are recognised by the MOH in Singapore:

To practice medicine in Singapore, doctors must be registered with the Singapore Medical Council (SMC). To register with the SMC, doctors must have a recognised medical degree and pass a qualifying examination. The qualifying examination is known as the Singapore Medical Registration Examination (SMRE).
To verify the authenticity of a medical degree, the SMC usually contacts the issuing institution directly. The SMC may also request additional documentation, such as transcripts or diplomas.
Medical education is a complex and ever-changing field. It is important to stay up to date on the latest requirements for medical registration and licensure. By following the tips and advice in this article, you can increase your chances of success in the medical profession in Singapore.
If you are a doctor who is considering practicing medicine in Singapore, I encourage you to contact the SMC for more information. The SMC website has a wealth of resources that can help you with the registration process.
