most sg/msia students in UK unis tend to top their batches so their knowledge is normally quite good, guess it is just adjusting to a different system, learning malay, dialect, mandarin etc
Thanks for sharing your answer to my question. I'm curious as to how international medical graduates, specifically UK medical graduates fair in terms of procedural skills when held against their counterparts who completed medical tutelage in singapore. For example, I read from sources online which claimed that HO routinely performs procedures such as LP, femoral stabs and chest drains in Singapore. My question is, will UK graduates be able to perform the abovementioned procedures up to the standard of a Singapore medical graduate? In fact, were you ever taught the procedures in your medical school in the UK? I don't think it is even mandatory to get those procedures signed off as a core procedure before UK graduates complete their FY1 year.
