However I will be completing my FY1 in the UK before returning under the PEG scheme and there're a few questions I hope someone can answer for me.
1. How does the pay of GP here in singapore compare to their counterparts working in a government hospital ?
2. When is the earliest post graduation that you can be employed as a GP ? And can you go private straight up.
3. Is radiology not a good specialty because most of the job will be replaced by AI in the near future ?
4. Is there a speciality that offers good work life balance, pay and is not so competitive to get into ?
Thank you very much !

1. Gp is higher than rp and mo pay for sure. But Less than an enterprising pte specialist cfm. How much you earn depends on whether u are the boss, and the location. And depends on how hard and much you work.
2. You need a full registration. To hasten things, you should not have done fy1 in UK. Hoship in Singapore and moship is a faster way to get full reg. Now u prob will spend 4 more years to get full reg.
3. This is controversial. We speak of a world of ai. If ai can replace radiologist in image processing and assume liability, AI can replace other drs as well. Always rmb you need someone to sue. AI can't be sued. Anyway if AI really works and if radio can be replaced, everyone will be replaced as well. And also don't worry about outsourcing. There will be no outsourcing of radio images to Africa or India. Data security.
4. If have please tell me. Good and easy things are popular.
Supply increase price drop.
Bottomline. Nothing such as good life balance and good pay and no competiton.
Good pay, good hours, and no competition. You can only choose two out of three.
