Just curious, for one to get into a training program in Singapore, (i.e residency), does he/she needs to be outspoken, proactive/or have an alpha personality in general?
I am currently a junior doctor in SG, and I am generally a passive person, can be very quiet/introverted in daily life, certainly not the very ambitious/proactive type. (I.e not leadership material)

I wish to get into residency mainly for the training and education (i.e to gain medical and clinical knowledge in the relevant field) and certainly have no interest in doing other administrative tasks (like man power/roster planning or quality improvement projects which I see many residents doing) or taking on any leadership position (like chief resident etc..)

Just wondering if people like myself (with such personality) are actually suitable to join residency or we just condemned?
