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

You full or conditional reg?
For ops, you can join at 6.5k rp pay. Go Email several ops director Of your intention to join as rp. Beg them for a mopex posting and indicate your intention to join as rp. whether conditional or full, pay is the same, of 6.5k. But their bonus better than pte. All Sundays free, and you get to have family dinner every night.
For pte，conditional able be to fetch 9-10k but the schedule can be xiong. Like 55hrs. Need to work weekend. And most nights are burnt.
For full reg, you can negotiate up to 15k or more for 55hours schedule. Breaks not included.
I think all the chains are the same. No preference.
Gdfm is affordable . Total fees plus exam is about 10k if you pass on first try.
Do note mmed however is very expensive. About 23k excluding exams fees. I don't think mmed is very useful in pte sector.
