Thanks in advance.
In the old days, as long as you have a diplomate of from American board of dermatology, and a letter of good standing, hosps will welcome you with open arms.

But since 2015, there are excess of residents, and local Hosp has difficulty finding jobs for their own residents. As such , it is much harder to get a job. No that foreign grads are discriminated, just that local residents get priorities.

As you come from a foreign nation, you will be conditionally registered, meaning you will need some form of supervision for the first 3years.

But frankly the pay in Singapore isn't that high. Looking at 150-200k sgd as an associate consultant. Heard in the USA can easily get 400-500k usd.
