Raising concern over unqualified doctors


AS a senior educator, I would like to raise my concerns about the quality of some young doctors in Malaysia. Every year, I have to certify the documents of young doctors who are applying for housemanship in local hospitals.

I am shocked to see their SPM examination results. Many obtained just C and D for their Science subjects, namely Biology, Chemistry and Physics, and B for subjects like English and Mathematics. These doctors are graduates from a local private medical college.
