How is life as a doctor in Singapore?

While imperial ucl r good for local british, it is quite easy for sinkie to enter as fee paying international
Only oxbridge is harder than nus or ntu med for sinkie

So if im looking med, at the undergrad calibre i would place
Oxbridge higher, than nus/ntu. Then the rest is chui
Lousy A levels results. No straight As

Then again, med degree after graduation nobody cares
So wont affect ur chances

Hence for highly ranked london

If I was in SG rn id just be getting into residency after bootlicking and fervently praying and finish 5 years later to make 300k sgd as surgical AC. I’m literally going to finish in 6 years time to make minimally 500k USD or higher and then can return to sg in the future once I want to settle down. I’ve also got world class education at a globally recognised T10 and can move to beautiful countries like switzerland or thr UAE with 0 issue. I don’t get what the allure of local uni is. My undergrad was paid for by full ride scholarship and my cost of med school is only about 200k more than SG. Instead of struggling for resale HDB and BTO i can just come back to SG when i have money to buy a spacious condo

Most important skill is boot licking

Honestly, if you are someone who can get into US med schools as a foreigner, then you probably would have easily gotten into residencies locally. Its extremely difficult to get into med school in the states as a foreigner from what I have heard. Know of people who didn't even get a single interview...

The US residency route (either as an IMG or foreign US MD grad) is no easier than we have it locally... in fact may be even more arduous. But the pay is better after all the training. In residency i would say we have better pay and welfare than US residents.
