Now, two-year housemanship for medical graduates

PUTRAJAYA, WED:

The government has doubled to two years the period of housemanship for medical graduates beginning next year.

Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek said today the Cabinet agreed to the extension in the belief that it would enable the medical graduates to garner more knowledge, skills and experience.

The two years will cover four-month training stints each in the medical, paediatrics, general surgery, orthopaedics, gynaecology, and emergency fields.

The longer period of housemanship would benefit the people by way of upgrading of healthcare, Dr Chua told reporters at his office here.

Malaysia’s public and private institutions of higher learning produce about 1,200 medical graduates annually.
