Apply to work in Aus/NZ/UK/US/Canada ? But these countries have drug/gun problems , not as safe as SG. |
Moving forward we going to continue narrow the pay between junior doctors (mo/rp) and the consultants.
We are going to continue letting AC to do step down calls. The idea is to narrow the renumeration to make both tracks essentially equivalent. AC and con get more pay but more responsibility. We will continue to a strong supply of medical graduates from our local medical schools and augment with foreign graduates. The key is to make good and affordable Long gone are the days where mo earn 100 per day. Now they are fat and get 7k pgy 5 with calls. And they get global clinical allowance of 500 even without mrcs or mrcp We will continue to review MO scheme and RP scheme to make it competitive when compared to pte salaried GP |

Do you mind if I ask what is the average waiting time for ssr to associate consultant nowadays? And what is the pay for a SSR? I am starting doing IM junior residency this coming July. I think medical specialty not as bad as surgery for now, but things might change in a few years. Was thinking should I just do GM given that there is the most job opportunities there? |

To your point regarding foreign-trained physicians not serving NS, I am sure you realize that SG women do not serve NS too. Do you feel like your female colleagues are also not deserving of consultant positions because they did not serve NS? Having read through hundreds of residency applications over the years, I can assure you that CVs are almost NEVER equal. Some may favour publications over awards, and vice versa. But they are almost never equal. |

We are talking about the current status quo which disadvantages male Singaporean doctors against foreign doctors for consultant posts. There's no policy reason to preserve the status quo disadvantage when Singapore males have done a valuable service for the nation. |

We the foreign doctors working and living in Singapore would like to thank the Singapore male doctors who serve NS so that we dont have to. Thank you |

If you in a niche speciality, why do you worry about consultant post. They are niche for a reason, eg ent, eye. Above average u say? Hello, these kind of niche speciality one year take 3 to 5 trainees. How do u even guage you are above average? Lastly, unless u are chief resident, u don't get to read cv. Even if u are chirf resident it's only for 1 year, so not sure how u read hundreds of applications over the years. Publication over awards..hahaha. If u have really really read medical cv before, u will know awards are rare |
