In those places, country is big hence the local doctors need to do more.
Not justified to over train GP when A and E and hospital is 15 minutes away

But the drs in those countries need to have the same competencies whether or not they end up working in rural area or in big city with ER 15 min away.
You can see why MMed will never be equivalent to FRACGP or CCFP.
But when you see the Sg dont recognize FRACGP and CCFP is just pure jelly onli.

lol or are u the jelly one with a fracgp who just realised coming back to sg u are forever regaled to a rp job ?
pls la. u think the fracgp can do c sec straight after 3 years of training?
need do basic and then advanced diploma in obgyn. and every few years need to attach to maternity department of hospital to log a number of supervised c section.

Currently a 4th year NUS med student who didn’t disrupt army for med school (I had completed my 2 years as an NSF).

Heard that the base pay of a HO now (excluding employer CPF contribution) is 4k.

Have a few questions.

[1] How will my pay differ from other HOs? Does having completed NS mean that you get a few hundred dollars more compared to my female colleagues and guys who didn’t disrupt?
[2] What is the pay jump from HO to PGY2 MO?
[3] What is the annual increment if I don’t get into any residency programme and remain an MO in the public sector?

Thanks!

And because of gender equality. Once u become sr female and male pay is the same
But male u get to slack off during reservist.

Does anyone here think that ops will be saturated one day just like the hospitals, and that not all fm resident will get a job post residency?
It seems that we are taking more and more pple every year lol.

Matter of when. Not if.
Enjoy it while it lasts.

looks like MOH wants to upgrade the competency of the average gp. push all to get trained in fam med residency then eventually only some will get to work in OPS, rest go to gpland with MMED competency. pay is same but need to learn more. really masterstroke from moh
