Or decided that a worklife balance more impt as an RP. Some go into aesthetics, some go into admin, some do into tech.

Cardio is seriously popular. Each yr many exiting residents from internal medicine junior residency compete for the cardio spots. Some make it, most dont. Most gave up and go for other specs.

Those that secured a cardio spots may however find themselves out of a job at end of cardio SR. Must wait for a few years or get some FTE from research.

You are competing with 300 from nus, 150 from ntu, 80 from nus duke, 250 from returning aussie, 150 returning from uk. All or mostly singaporeans in your batch. So being singaporean citizen is no biggie
How hard is it to get internal medicine subspecialties in general in medicine in Singapore as a returning Aust medical graduate who’s a Singaporean? For example, like neurology, oncology and dermatology? Is a doctor who spends a reasonable amount of time as an MO able to have a decent chance in getting into one of these subspecialties. I’m considering my options in mind of planning my life after I finish my MBBS. Thanks.
