  • 1 Media Statement by Dr. Lim Chee Han, Senior Researcher at Penang
    Media Statement by Dr. Lim Chee Han, Senior Researcher at Penang Institute in Kuala Lumpur on the 21st of July, 2017 Ways to keep afloat with the housemanship programme in Malaysia Medical graduates in Malaysia having to wait for a year, sometimes more, before they can be placed for their housemanship training has been putting a heavy burden on the Ministry of Health as well as these aspiring doctors. The long queue for housemanship positions is driven by a number of factors namely: (i) A significant increase in the number of medical graduates from local private colleges and universities and an increase in the number of medical graduates from overseas driven by an increase in the number of overseas medical institutions which are recognized by the Malaysian Medical Council (MMC) (ii) The inability of the public health system to expand to keep up with the increasing number of medical graduates (iii) The declining rates of graduation within the stipulated period experienced by those undergoing the housemanship training programs with an especially high rate of non- graduation coming from medical graduates from certain overseas institutions The number of medical house officers i.e. those who have taken up their housemanship positions from local public universities increased from 496 in 2001 to 1245 in 2014, an increase of approximately 2.5 times. For local private institutions, the number of medical house officers increased from a mere 43 in 2001, when only the Penang Medical College was offering medical degrees, to 1125 in 2014, when 11 private institutions were offering medical degrees. This represents a 26-fold increase (See Appendix 1 below).

Over the years, the obligation to publish has amplified to not just on getting published but also on getting published in high quality journal whereby the quality ranking is determined by publication categories. This paper gives an account on the publication output in Scopus by the Malaysian private and the public universities in 2010. The study employed a query search on the Malaysian universities affiliation using Scopus database. The result of the search was tabulated and narrowed to journal publications and the other types of publication such as reviews, proceedings and letters were omitted. The number of journal publications by each university was listed out and comparison on the average was made. Comparison was made between the average number of publications by the private and the public universities. Findings show that the spur on publishing among Malaysian universities has taken effect.
