Hong Kong Academy of Medicine.

The Hong Kong Academy of Medicine, established in 1993, is the only statutory body in Hong Kong to train, assess and accredit medical and dental specialists. According to the law in Hong Kong, a doctor or dentist who wishes to have his name included in the Specialist Register of Medical Council or Dental Council must either be a Fellow of the Academy or be assessed and certified by the Academy to have qualifications and training comparable to that required of an Academy Fellow. Once a doctor or dentist is on the Specialist Register, he must fulfil the continuing medical education requirements as determined by the Academy to maintain his specialist status. The Hospital Authority of Hong Kong has implemented the Doctor Work Reform (DWR) since 2006 which involves reduction of doctors' work hours and may affect training. The long-term strategy of the Academy with regards to the issue of DWR is to modernise postgraduate medical education and closely monitor the process to ensure that the quality of training would not be affected.
香港医学专科学院成立于 1993 年,是香港唯一的法定机构,负责培训、评估和认证医学和牙科专家。根据香港法律,希望将其姓名列入医务委员会或牙医管理委员会专科医生名册的医生或牙医,必须是该学院的院士,或经该学院评估并核证其具备与院士要求相当的资格和培训。医生或牙医一旦列入专科医生名册,便必须符合该学院订定的持续医学教育要求,以维持其专科资格。自 2006 年以来,香港医院管理局实施了医生轮班工作改革(DWR),这涉及减少医生的工作时间,并可能影响培训。学院对于 DWR 问题的长期策略是使研究生医学教育现代化,并密切监测这一过程,以确保培训质量不受影响。
