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?

Just condemned.
As a consultant to be, you are expected to handle administrative stuff of department, engage in new projects, think of quality improvement work for Dept. In addition to basic provision of clinical service.
Residents are expected to shoulder the department burden.
Roster planning of calls is a basic requisite.
