Welcome to the 6th Medlab Asia Pacific Congress
CME accreditation
The Singapore Medical Council is the accreditation body for all of the conference tracks at Medlab Asia Pacific.
The Singapore Medical Council (SMC), a statutory board under the Ministry of Health, maintains the Register of Medical Practitioners in Singapore, administers the compulsory continuing medical education (CME) programme and also governs and regulates the professional conduct and ethics of registered medical practitioners. In their efforts to ensure that doctors are keeping abreast of Medical advances, the Council has implemented compulsory CME with effect from 1 January 2003.
An application has been made to the Singapore Medical Council for CME accreditation of this event.
