Parallel Pathway still a good way to train medical officers


THE College of Physicians of Malaysia wishes to thank the Health Minister for pledging his commitment to resolving the ongoing specialist training issues. The College, which represents all internal medicine, psychiatry and rehabilitation medicine specialists in Malaysia, is also relieved that the Health Ministry is not planning to abolish the Parallel Pathway Programme.

Internal medicine specialisation occurs after housemanship. Currently, medical officers undergo specialist training either through the Masters of Internal Medicine offered by local universities or the Parallel Pathway offered by the Health Ministry.
