Let's say goal is to return to SG and become consultant or senior consultant in public hospital before going private after studying in UK/Australia, does it matter if you are trained in US/UK/AU/SG?

Conscious that US training should be fastest but almost impossible for foreign medical grads to get into top programs. UK will take forever but workload wise perhaps comparable to UK.

Would it be possible to train half way in UK like moving back to SG to pursue higher psych training for UK psych trainees or moving back to SG to do less selective IM specialties such as endo/rheum/nephro after IMT in UK and skip the most brutal shift for junior doctors in SG?


Psych training is best in the UK because of the good work-life balance. It’s better to train fully in the UK and you can then relocate to AUS for a few years of work experience post CCT, before returning to SG as a full-fledged consultant.
