It depends on your medical qualifications and background. To practice medicine in Singapore as an international medical graduate, you must first ensure your degree is recognized by the Singapore Medical Council (SMC). There is no single "clinical registration exam" for all applicants; instead, you must:

- Have a medical degree from an SMC-recognized university or a registrable postgraduate qualification. - Pass the national licensing exam in your home country, if required by SMC. - Secure a job offer at an SMC-approved healthcare institution. - Apply for conditional registration with the SMC, submitting all required documents. - Complete a period of supervised practice in Singapore before applying for full registration.

Requirements and processes are subject to change.
