I'm starting to do my MRCP next march. I'm thinking about moving abroad, either to Singapore or Australia. Which choice is better, time-wise? Which country will be easier for me to apply to and getting a job?
Domestically india lack doctors, especially rural communities, so much that recently the indian National Medical Commission (NMC) bill is now about to pass through India parliament.

Rural india do not have enough doctors. Cities as well. If well trained, fully qualified indian doctors are leaving india, it is disastrous for the nation and rural communities.

Developed countries are increasingly recognising the harm when they deprive the nation of much needed medical care, and their ethical responsibility to stop the efflux and brain drain of doctors.

This may even constitute human rights violation of the first degree to encourage emigration of doctors from a place where ratio of doctors to population is 0.62:1000.
