Haha, perhaps the title is widely used in HK, I have never heard of the title "scientific officer" in hospitals.

There are researchers from various government and institutional agencies (like medical school, public health department, social work department) who work in hospitals to undertake their researches because the client base is very limited outside of the hospital setting (like cancer patients, rehab patients). They hire through government postings on newspaper and (depending on the fiscal year) may increase/decrease their recruitment, so, if you are in HK, you can watch the SCMP or gov't website for hiring.

Rarely any medical student who entered med school got 10A in HKCEE (GCSE is a different story as it is a lot easier than HKCEE)... and believe me, the 10A students would normally not make the best doctor even if he entered medical school with ease. The key to medicine is not how big a book you can swallow and digest but more about patient-doctor interaction... very important... how good a doctor are you if you can't even talk to your patient effectively? Don't give up, and there are allied-health positions (like physio, pharmacist, nursing) that do equally important roles in hospital... without them doctors cannot survive as well. If you really wanted to work in a hospital you can also think of these as your potential career goals (not getting too fixated to the idea to be a doctor)...

Good luck! :-)
