Can I ask, does getting a mmed in polyclinic setting gaurantee you a AC position in 4-5 years time?
Some of my seniors said yes, but some say need fellowship. Does progression in ops differ heavily from hospital setting?
I think in hospital, once you exit and get AC position, promotion to senior consultant is inevitable by virtue of time. (Meaning they day you retire confirm will have SC, but high perfomers can get faster of course)

I am not sure what is the natural progression of mmeder in ops? (Meaning does one stay as a FP till they retire if they choose not to pursue fellow), and if one get fellowship, does that gaurantee consultant and senior consultant position then?
