  • Change of mailing address
  • Members and fellows should inform Hon Secretary. HKAM fellows should also write to the HKAM for change of address. Hon Secretary can forward the letter, but fellows must write specifically to HKAM. HKAM requires its fellows to use the same mailing address as the one registered with the Hong Kong Medical Council.
  • Annual Subscriptions for Senior Members and Fellows
  • The annual subscription fees for members and fellows aged over 65 will be waived from 1 Jan 1998. However a nominal subscription fee of $50 per year will be payable to confirm the member or fellows's intention of maintaining membership or fellowship status with the College.
  • Overseas members and fellows (College Bye-Law 2.8.0)
  • Members or fellows who intend to stay overseas for one year or more can apply to Hon Secretary to become overseas members or fellows. An overseas mailing address must be supplied. Overseas members and fellows will pay one quarter of the annual subscription fee, which will be effective from 1 January of the following year. Overseas members and fellows who return to Hong Kong for more than 3 months must apply to Hon Secretary to become local members or fellows, and pay the full annual subscription for that year. Only selected College correspondence is sent to overseas members and fellows.
  • CME programme for Fellows residing overseas
    • Council approved the following CME guidelines for fellows residing overseas. Overseas fellows can fulfill CME requirements by either:
      i) joining the CME programme of an overseas College/ Organization accredited by our College. The CME points are accredited with an equivalent fraction of CME points to the Hong Kong College. For instance, if an overseas College requires a minimum of 500 points a year and a fellow has accumulated 100 points under that system, then one fifth of the HKCA annual CME points, i.e. six points, will be awarded. Or
      ii) participating in any College approved overseas Postgraduate Meetings, or self-study programme.
      The above guidelines will be effective from 1st January,1998.
  • Readmission to Membership and Fellowship
    • Council may consider application from ex-members and ex-fellows for readmission to membership and fellowship. Articles of Association 5.3 states that "on readmission to membership a registration fee shall be payable". Council resolved that the registration fee
      i) for membership admission will be the joining fee ($2,200 at 1997) and
      ii) for fellowship admission will be the joining fee ($2,200 at 1997) plus the fellowship fee ($2,500 at 1997).
      Under Article 5.2, members and fellows who wish to restore their membership or fellowship must also pay all their outstanding debts including outstanding membership and fellowship subscriptions.
