In UK consultants get upwards of £180 an hour for locuming and locum jobs are always available. Do locum shifts in Singapore exist and how much doctors get paid there ?

Do we need to have audit projects or research under our belt before applying for residency ? Will it be a significant disadvantage not to have those before applying ? Thinking of applying for residency but I do not yet have any audit or research projects. Any opportunities to do audit or researches while being a HO?

In this era of many applicants for one spot, to stand out you need 1) length of service- lots of mopex rotations in the specialty 2) exams. Pass part 1 or mrcp or full mrcs 3) publications if any. Or at least some posters. 4) good boss appraisals. |
based on my recent visits to some specialist clinic, doctors in Singapore are extremely rich.
* hospital carpark has the highest concentration of luxury cars, way more than top banks building in CBD * specialist hourly rate is SGD500+. Of course usually you don't pay that much because you don't sit there chat for an hour with them. But SGD200 for a 10-15 mins consultation is very typical * a standard day surgery costs ~3X in specialist/private hospital compare to public hospital. a colonoscopy was quoted SGD4k-8k, which is a 30-45 mins non-intrusive operation only, in public hospital is only 1k+ after retire, if no medical insurance, can serious consider going JB or Thailand or even China for medical care |
Those are <5% of doctors, old ones from the old days when specialty training spots were widely available and the road to being consultant was the fast track. Most now slog it out in the polyclinic/hospital - you just don't realise it.
If cars were a comparison, think public transport or cheap japanese cars. Quote:
