Application Forms & Fees

 

Application forms can be obtained with a written request to the Membership Committee.

 

Written request should be sent to the College secretariat office by email at enquiries@hkcr.org or by fax at (852) 2554 0739 or by post to Hong Kong College of Radiologists, Room 909, 9/F, Hong Kong Academy of Medicine Jockey Club Building, 99 Wong Chuk Hang Road, Aberdeen, Hong Kong SAR.

 

In order to allow sufficient time for the Secretariat to prepare meeting papers, application(s) must be received by the College Secretariat office on or before the first working day of each month. Application(s) received after the first working day of each month will only be processed for vetting in the Membership Committee Meeting in the subsequent month.

 

The applications will be initially vetted by the Membership Committee.  Only complete application(s) will be subsequently recommended to the Council for approval.  The admission date of Fellowship / Membership / Trainee Membership / Associate Membership will be the date of the College Council meeting at which the admission is approved.  Incomplete or inaccurate application will be rejected by the Membership Committee and returned to the applicants for amendments and re-submission.  An administrative handling fee of HK$300 per re-submission would be charged for vetting the re-submitted application.

 

The re-submitted application will only be processed for vetting in the Membership Committee Meeting in the same month provided that applicant has returned the complete application with all necessary documents and administrative handling fee for re-submission within 1 week as requested in the letter.  Otherwise the re-submitted application will be deferred to the next Membership Committee Meeting for vetting in the subsequent month.

 

Please note that applications not authenticated by the required supporting documents will delay the processing procedures.  Before submitting the application form for Fellowship/ Membership/ Trainee Membership/ Associate Membership, applicants are reminded to read the Guidance Notes for Applicants carefully and to ensure that all documents are in order.  Submission of incomplete and inaccurate application might affect the training duration and postponement of sitting the examination.
