It is reported on the Internet that there is a clinic doctor in Tainan who converted his Chinese diploma into an American degree to take the Taiwan National Examination and practice. The Department of Examination and Selection responded that foreign medical-related academic qualifications must submit all the information they actually attended to qualify for the examination, and will investigate in detail if the report is received.
A netizen posted on a social platform that he went to a clinic in Tainan because of a cold and met someone he knew in the past. He was a doctor who had returned from China and had changed his name. He said, "Now you can go to China to study medicine and buy an American degree to become a doctor in Taiwan."
The netizen even further listed his schooling experience, saying that he did not get admitted to the Department of Medicine in Taiwan, but went to Jinan University in Guangzhou, China to study medicine. After graduation, he directly obtained a forged medical degree from UC Riverside in the United States, successfully returned to Taiwan to take the national medical examination, and is now a physician.
According to the relevant regulations of the Ministry of Examination and Selection, the academic qualifications of Chinese medical personnel will not be accepted. Regarding other foreign academic qualifications, Executive Deputy Director Huang Qingzhang explained that applicants should submit an application for recognition of foreign academic qualifications to the Examination and Selection Department in accordance with the examination instructions, and submit proof of enrollment, transcripts, entry and exit records and other supporting documents, and submit them to the Physician and Dentist Examination Review Committee for review of qualifications.
Huang Qingzhang also pointed out that if a report is received, the Examination and Selection Department will conduct a detailed investigation, obtain the registration information of the person concerned, and check the accuracy of the documents proving the qualifications for the examination.
That is to say, if you apply for a doctor with a Chinese medical academic certificate, you will not pass the qualification review; if you apply for a doctor with an academic certificate from another country, regardless of whether the academic qualification is obtained through duplex or various methods, you must meet various information requirements and have actual enrollment and attendance facts before you can pass the review.
Liao Gaoxian, director of the Higher Education Department of the Ministry of Education, said that according to Article 9, paragraph 7, of the "Measures for the Recognition of Academic Qualifications in the Mainland Area", the relevant academic qualifications of medical personnel as referred to in the Mainland Area Medical Law will not be recognized. Those who study medicine in China will not have their academic qualifications recognized, and Jinan University in Guangzhou, China, had their academic qualifications in various departments not recognized last year due to concerns about the United Front.
If graduates of medicine, dentistry and traditional Chinese medicine from foreign universities want to obtain a license in Taiwan or apply for the national examination, they must first pass the academic screening examination commissioned by the Ministry of Education.
