Hong Kong recently released a special registration program, allowing medical graduates from 50 non-local institutions to practice in Hong Kong. Fudan University became the first institution in mainland China to have its Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) degree, a six-year degree program, recognized by Hong Kong.
The city’s Registrar of Medical Practitioners announced the list of 50 institutions in two batches, with 27 released in late April, and 23 on June 8, which included Fudan University. Most of the other universities are from English-speaking countries, such as the United States, UK, Canada, and Australia. In addition, Singapore and South Africa each has one school recognized under the new program.
