Returning Aust medical student here, planning to come back to Singapore due to the Australia internship crisis and possibility of getting stuck in a rural placement. How hard is it to get into competitive residencies for example Cardiology in Singapore? I’m a singaporean. Is it possible to get stuck in the hospital as an MO for 10 years++ having no sign of getting in? Is it that competitive? Is there any explicit (or implicit) priority towards local grads even though both perform equally well in hospital rotations? I hope to come back to Singapore and specialise in a field I’m interested in in future.
