Be self aware. The cardiologist ortho gastro and gynae will not help you when you screw up managing one of thei cases or missed something. They will say why didnt you refer to me earlier.? I am pro FP and believe there is a lot of benefit to society to have a strong FP fraternity But must also see SG culture what do patients want also? Many sg patients prefer see specialists. Sure those got many different discipline problem might be happy with FP. Just be careful. From experience FP love to talk up very big how they can manage everything but even FP themselves have different interests and expertis and LIMITS! |

If you work in a big country in a rural area sure generalist is very practical and valuable. In a metropolitan city with many tertiary hospitals and specialists? Not so much. FP in my opinion is best suited for rural medicine practices. Same FPs typically also staff the local ERs. FPs also assist specialists when they come in to do surgeries. But for city cased FP work it is different. And realy no worth it trying to work like the rural FP. Might be worthwhile looking into an area of interest for FP. Eg mental health, occupational med, addiction med, sports med. |

So conclusion, - private chain gp pay around same as ops assuming one has mmed and progress to become AC? - IM earns more than fm, unless fm opens own clinic or set up asthestics chain? |

But those countries also pay their FM physicians much higher than us, so its not a true apples to apples comparison. |

It has only become relatively harder compared to previous years due to medical student tsunami, but worldwide, FM training has always been the easiest to get into relative to other specialties. psy and pathology hold fascination for some people only, do it only if u want to do it. Dun kid yourself. Also, since when is failure rate 50-60%? s://1.racgp.org.au/newsgp/racgp/kfp-2020-2-public-exam-report-now-available 81% pass on their first try. Sg side, except for 2020 exam which was markly different due to Covid, passing rate for each exam is usually 50% of the people who made it to the clinicals. Thats about 40% of the cohort fyi. Its a high stake exam for most of us as the salary doubles after that. FM is always the poorer cousin to the medical specialties. Don't kid yourself that FM in canada or australia or UK do a lot. Salary more? I dun think so lei. Remember, in australia, GP are self employed. They usually do shared billing at 60-70% and need to work quite hard to make 200K before tax. While an equivalent FP in singapore employed in what is essentially an iron rice bowl job with insurance, CME, annual leave etc all accounted for makes a bit more after the lower tax in Sg. so, again dont kid yourself. |
FP vs IM vs Specialist
I would beg to differ.
I thnk GP/FM salary good. Now community recovery facility recruiting many juniors doctors and paying higher then specialist. Not sure of the relevance of IM as a specialty since there are already so many specialists around |
