Licensing and regulation are clearly high on the minds of our elected representatives, whether it\u2019s in the form of cabinet-backed proposals or private-member bills (the latter of which are much less likely to see the light of day).<\/p>\n<p><strong>One MP thinks the best way to guarantee truth in advertising and marketing would be to license the profession. <\/strong>Rep. Mohamed Farag Amer has drafted a bill that would require individuals working in advertising or marketing to obtain a license to practice, Amer <a href=\"http:\/\/www.egypttoday.com\/Article\/2\/59260\/New-draft-law-to-regulate-advertisements-Parliamentarian\">told Egypt Today yesterday<\/a>, suggesting it\u2019s the best way to bring the profession under control. If enacted, the law would set up an Advertising Syndicate which would take charge of issuing licenses. <strong>Open Photoshop or write a line of ad copy without a license?<\/strong> Amer would like you to fork over a fine of up to EGP 100k \u2014 and go to jail for up to six months.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Somewhere out there, <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2016\/11\/24\/traders-rewarded-with-smiley-faces\/\"><strong>Ol\u2019 Smileyface<\/strong><\/a><strong> is grinning from ear to ear<\/strong>, just imagining all the <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2016\/06\/13\/consumer-protection-agency-takes-juhayna-birell-cottonil-dice-ads-off-air\/\">\u201cinappropriate\u201d Ramadan ads<\/a> that will never be made.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile: <strong>Physicians would have to renew their medical licenses every five years <\/strong>if legislation <a href=\"https:\/\/www.almasryalyoum.com\/news\/details\/1335426\">backed by cabinet<\/a> goes through. The bill, which is now headed for committee review after having received preliminary approval from the House general assembly yesterday, would see medical practitioners required to submit documentation proving they have engaged in 120-150 hours of professional practice. In addition to hours in practice, MDs could claim time spent on medical research as well as continuing education initiatives such as conferences and workshops, Higher Education Minister <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shorouknews.com\/news\/view.aspx?cdate=21102018&id=2ba9bf36-0f68-4111-98dd-e3762416e8fd\">Khaled Abdel Ghaffar told the assembly yesterday<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The proposed amendments would also start to nudge med school curriculum toward the practical<\/strong> by cutting study years at state-run medical schools to five years from a current six and requiring that graduates complete two-year rather than one-year, residency programs as a requirement of licensing.
