How is medical service in Singapore?
Hi all. I am an Emergency physician in Hong Kong. We always have long waiting time in our ED (average 4-8 hours) and in SOPDs. Medical wards are always above 100% occupancy Lol.
I have read through the posts in this thread, and found out that, despite Singapore has been open to foreign medical graduates for long time, doctors still need to work for > 80 hours a week? I suppose, with sufficient doctors, the workload will be less. And how about medical service and waiting times? Is it difficult to see a doctor for Singaporeans? How about those “3rd world graduates”? Do they confer to more medical errors? How do you think their performance is? Bad or good? Tks for replying! Cheers! |

Noted that there is a shortage of AC jobs generally, but how about generalist like gm and Geri, are they affected by the shortage of consultant posts as well?

Can I ask to be a gp in Singapore, how important are qualifications like gdfm, mmed(family medicine), fellowship (family medicine)?
Thinking of doing them but they are really expensive. |

Do we get paid extra for completing MRCP part 1 or MRCS part 1 ? Do they add up to give 1000 extra pm if u complete both mrcp and MRCS ?
Salary package for MO is between 16-17 months meaning the pay for 1st year MO will be 4950 (NS) + 240*4 (calls) = 5910. So 1 year including bonuses = 5910*16= 94560 per annum? After CPF and income tax 94560*0.7= 66192 per annum take home ? So monthly = 66192/12= 5516 per month (including NS and calls) Does that seem right ? |

Most civil service is 2-5% increment, unless there is an promotion in grade. Like wise when you promote from ho to mo, you get over 30% increase. I suggest hk or south Korea. Better renumeration there. |
Thanks for your reply!
So 1 month= 4950 basic + 240*4 calls = 5910 before tax and CPF After tax and CPF = 5910*0.7 = 4137 per month take home But including bonuses assuming 16 months package Total annual income before tax and CPF = 4950*16 + 240*4*12 = 90720 Total annual income after tax and CPF = 90720*0.7 = 63504 CPF = 90720*0.2 = 18144 Total earned = 18144 + 63504 = 81648 per annum including CPF So actually we are earning about 81648/12 = 6807 per month, but we take home only 4137 per month Is that correct? |
