Hi, this is a question for GPs. I am currently a 3rd year mopex mo. (I am Singaporean but graduated overseas). I have done mainly medical postings so far as an mo but I do plan to do a/e soon. I want to be a gp and would like some advice.
A) is it possible for me to work as a gp in polyclinic long term if I didn't go through the residency system? (It is quite difficult to get mopex posting in polyclinic)

B) if I go private, I have no plans/money to open my own clinic. Hence I will probably have to join large chain GPs like raffles medical/healthway etc.
- can I check which are the large chain GPs in Singapore (other than raffles/healthway which I know). And is it difficult to get a job with them?; Are they looking for people with post graduate qualifications? (I am doing gdfm for now, will consider doing mmed after).
-finally what sort of pay can I expect from them given that I am still quite new to the gp scene?

Thanks
