1) So what is the salary for these individuals?
2) After the bond with MOHH completes, would there be a difference in salary?
3) For those who chose to pursue fellowship for FCFPS, how is the salary like as well? Would it be as competitive as a Gen Med con in tertiary hospital per say.
4) I would also assume with FCFPS you would be able to take up even more appointments which also add up to your pay, am I right?

Thank you.

1. Yes by the time u take Ur mmed exam is Dec of pgy 5. So about 1.5 years away from end of bond pgy 6. I assume sinkie.
So 1 ho plus 5 years bond

2. U sign on RP with ops . RP salary better. If mo with mohh same pay

3. To be honest no choice alr. If u wanna stay in ops, must fcps.
Coz every tom dick harry is mmed. Earlier on alr got poster say gdfm is not enough for today. The inflation rate is exponential. Now baseline is mmed.
U don't fcps today, u will die tmr. Some young guy with fcps going to steal ur lunch.

If pte then don't care gdfm mmed or fcps all same.
But I highly suggest fcps if u wanna stay on ops. Minimum qualification soon. Some more now they gonna sab the fcps. So next time to be fm u must be a sab specialist. Cannot just fam med register.

Will be second class citizen in ops.

Ya so I suggest chiong all the way to fcps coz u young. And future proof

4. Last time fcps is big f. Is like polyclinic head. Now starting more and more. No guarantee they will offer u a consultant position. But as in part 3, we take fcps not because of consultant position but for future proof.

Just to keep up with the Joneses
