How to Register for Housemanship in Malaysia!

Greetings! It's April Fool. Victimised my first victim already. :D and my day can go on happily..anyways.. as all of you might have heard some of us has finally graduated! How awesome is that?! Super awesome I would say. It wasn't what I imagined though. Far from it. A year from the big day, I had image in my mind how the last day would go. Simple yet happy day. Maybe a bottle of champagne to celebrate during our last department. NO there were no such things. The last day became a dreadful dateline everyone need to catch. and most of us couldn't. Even if some of us could make the dateline. Our hearts were heavy, as maybe our friends didnt get it. And opening a bottle of champagne is just well, not a right thing to do. Either way, we made it anyway! Congratulations to everyone. And remember for those who are still studying, it's not the destination but the journey itself.

The Aftermath.

For those medical students who have just graduated. It's time to come home!! And enjoy your long holiday!!! But don't forget you have some more stuff to settle! It can be quite confusing on what to do!What's next? Do we need to register anywhere and where???? It was a big blur for me. And there was no clear instructions which were reliable enough to follow. Here's a rough guideline: 

Where we need to register?

1. Malaysia Medical Council ( MMC)

2. Ministry of Health ( MOH) a.k.a Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia ( KKM)

3. Suruhanjaya Perkhidmatan Awan (SPA)

First Step: Registering to MMC!

1. Preparing documents:( Reference and can download forms from here:  MMC FORM CLICK HERE

The following documents need to be submitted by ALL applicants : 

1.Provisional Registration Application Form (Form 4)

2. Appendix A Form 

3. An original Dean’s Letter or a certified true copy of basic medical degree

(Please specify date of graduate if not indicated in any of the document). 

4.A result transcripts covering the WHOLE course/study duration

(Local public university graduates are exempted). 

5. A passport-sized photograph. 

6. A RM20  bank draft can  get from banks or post offices written for:  ‘The Registrar of Medical Practitioners’.

7. If the original documents are not in either Bahasa Malaysia or English:

         a.  Translated documents

         b. Certified copies of the document in its original language. 

8. Fitness to practice declaration form.

The following additional documents to be submitted by Malaysians only:

1. A certified true copy of an identity card.

2. A certified true copy of a birth certificate. 

3. A certified true copy of SPM or offer letter from SPA,

whichever applicable.

The following additional documents to be submitted by Indian University Graduates only:

1. A certified true copy of a Student Bonafide Certificate. 

2. A certified true copy of Rotating Internship Certificate.

If you graduate from Indonesia Universities just like me then you will need: 

1. A certified true copy of Sijil Kedokteran (S.KED). 

2. A certified true copy of Ijazah Kedokteran (Ijazah Profesi Dokter).

Who can certify our stuff??! 

Reference and more info from  here: Documents certification Info CLICK HERE =) 

a. Public officials holding administrative and professional posts; 

b. Advocates and solicitors; 

c. Commissioner for Oaths;

d. Notary Public;

e.     Embassy or Consulate officials holding administrative and professional posts; and

f. Justice of the Peace.

Tips: There's a Methodist girl's school nearby MMC! Can get their help to certify and chop our stuff. They are super friendly and helpful. And didnt ask any questions!! In forms you need someone as your "saksi". Make sure you remember to find a saksi like those people who certify our stuff also can  be our "saksi" and get their chop. Remember certify all documents as well as the form! The last page requires us to certify it. And you are set to pass up your stuff! And remember as well. You need to certify ALL the pages in your transcript. 

The form that needed to be sent to MMC looks something like this.

Alrighty! Once you submitted you probably need half a day or a day to get your temporary MMC registration documents with the MMc. reg. no. You will need this number to apply  for your interview!

Step 2: Going to Ministry of Health ( MOH) 

This is in putrajaya! Before coming here you need to prepare:
1. the exact documents as before. All documents make sure you have certified
2. and fill up the form! MOH FORM CLICK HERE!! =) in this form, you will need fill up 3 hospitals of your choice. There are about 40+ choices! So, choose wisely!!

MOH FORM FOR HO and MOs!

Hospital list! This is such a headache!!!!! 41 choices!

Third Step : SPA!!! 

This is just nearby MOH. Same building. Same floor. Easy only. No worries la. People are super friendly too! Just go there, fill up your form. Without your MMC registration number, this is not possible to do. Done? Make sure put a number that's always active! For they will call you for your interview. Next? Sit and chill =D and GOOD LUCK!!!
NOTE: Oh ya! Once you done with SPA, remember to do online registration too!!! If not, they wont schedule your interview =/ Doesnt mean when you done with manual registration you dont need do online registration. Need to do that too!
