I tried. They dowan to buy. Say so lau kwee.

How much are regs clinical allowance?

I know HO got $0
MO is $500
But how about reg?

I am a junior doctor on training in the UK and plan to return to Singapore to practice at some point.

Would anyone know whether Less-Than-Full-Time employment is readily available as an option with MoH for grades above MO, either at restructured hospitals or polyclinics?

Also, what are the typical hours/ROTA at polyclinics? Do doctors at polyclinics generally work 5 days with rotations, 5.5 days each week, or 5.5 days each alternate week?

Thanks!

V presumptuous.

Just thinking some may have information they don't mind sharing, either from their personal experience or someone they know. No need to be snarky. Feel sorry for your patients if you are this presumptuous at the clinic. There's no mention that I wasn't going to ask MoH and it's not even implicit that the question is about working part time while conditionally registered.

Hopefully, someone more engaging would drop by and share their thoughts.

If you are Singaporean you should be familiar with such behavior.
If you are not Singaporean be prepared for more of this.
The working conditions for doctors in Singapore are abysmal. They either earn very little or totally have no work life balance. Especially for the less senior doctors.
