MedEx FAQ
1. What is MedEx?
MedEx is short for the Medical Specialist Pre-entrance Examination (or
Peperiksaan Pra-kemasukan Ijazah Lanjutan Perubatan). It was established by
the Medical Deans Council of Malaysia and conducted by the Malaysian
Examinations Council (Majlis Peperiksaan Malaysia, MPM) under Act 225,
hence the authority to conduct examinations. It serves as one of the screening
criteria to select good candidates to join clinical specialist training in Malaysian
public universities. Different specialties apply different lists of Selection Criteria.
Please refer to the Selection Criteria specific for the specialisation that you
prefer.
5. Do I have to pay for the next stage in the selection process, i.e. the
interview?
No, you don’t need to make additional payment for the interview. However, for
certain specialties, more rigorous screening methods, e.g. OSCE, may be imposed
and special payment may be required for this.
10. Is MedEx a compulsory requirement for entry into the medical specialist
programme?
MedEx is one of the compulsory requirements. For further details for each
programme, please refer to the Selection Criteria accessible in the MedEx
Registration Portal.
