Parallel Pathway proposed solution framework sent to AGC: Zambry

Higher education minister says talks held with Health Ministry on legal aspects, reasons why their current qualification is not recognised by MMC

KUALA LUMPUR – The government assured that the specialisation degree training programme or the Parallel Pathway issue will be resolved promptly and that a proposed solution framework has been submitted to the Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC) for evaluation. 

Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Zambry Abdul Kadir said that discussions with the Health Ministry were held recently to find a solution regarding legal aspects, in addition to discussing issues related to the recognition of medical programmes offered in universities. 

“The government is currently examining comprehensive solutions that also involve legal aspects such as a need for any amendments to the Medical Act 1971, in addition to matters related to the recognition of medical programmes offered at universities. 

“We have looked into it more deeply and identified that it needs to be resolved regarding matters within legal provisions,” he said after attending the InvestED training programme graduation ceremony organised by the Securities Commission here today. 

The Parallel Pathway issue gained attention when the Malaysian Medical Association requested Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) to allow entry of non-Bumiputera medical officers who wished to undergo specialised training in cardiothoracic fields, similar to how the institution accepts international students.  

This comes after the Malaysian Medical Council (MMC) rejected the applications of four cardiothoracic surgeons to be listed in the National Specialist Register due to their Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh in Cardiothoracic Surgery qualification not being recognised. 

Commenting further, Zambry said the issue should not only focus on admitting these four doctors to UiTM but also on why MMC does not recognise their academic qualifications. 

“It is unfair if we accuse UiTM of being too rigid, not providing space and showing no compassion to urgent cases.

“This involves MMC. Even though they (doctors) are allowed admission into UiTM, ultimately, will MMC accept them or not? This is the real question,” he said. 

He also urged the public to have confidence in the ongoing solution efforts and emphasised that the issue should not be exploited for political gains by any party trying to exaggerate the matter. – May 27, 2024
