That’s what they pay you to do anyway.

That’s why I said think about the longer term horizon of 10-20 years.
In clinic chains you are pretty much doing the same thing for 10-20 years unless you open up your own clinic chain.
Bigger groups may give you some options for promotion like regional lead / clinic head whatsoever which will mean you are in charge of the clinics/ several clinics in the region.
So you can also do some admin, chasing for locums, etc if that’s your cup of tea.
I beg to differ lei.
In the long term in private u have the time to mould your clinical practice.
U can start to collect depressed and anxious patient and earn a good living being a mini psychiatrist.
Other than aesthetics , chronic pain management, men's health , women's health ( eg menopause hrt replacement ) are all possible cliche area to go into. Bread and butter gp work only got so much to go around la, chronic disease management is big, but u can never out compete polyclinic in terms of cost
eventually u at the mercy of TPA in race to bottom line.
In public setting Ur clinical boundaries extend as far as wat ministry allows only. In that sense it's way boring. Admin is eeee. Polyclinic head always v stress one.
