"Excellent doctor" is also in the eye of the beholder. Is the from the patient's view? Or your colleagues view?
I want to be highly marketable and liked by patients. Good for business in the long run

No cut off age but less chance of getting selected as you get older.
I have seen statistics a few years ago when MOHH came to my uni to recruit us back. I was under the inpresssion that it’s hard but if u stuck it out for 2-3 years as an MO it should be doable

as for the property market in sg, i hearsay it is at all time high and probably not a good timing. what makes you think it is a good timing?

do anchor GPs for large chains have KPIs to meet in terms of number of patients seen and waiting time per patient

Oxford Med is a 6 year degree, it’s gonna cost a ton of money. If you are rich, I rather you do a local MBBS and then break bond after HO year.

I don’t want to be Gp. The main reason of studying overseas is to broaden my specialty training options so I can train as a consultant then return to singapore after training. I don’t find GP work enjoyable so I don’t want to risk the chance of being bonded but unable to specialise. Break bond go outside specialise also not possible cos MOH will blacklist me and make it hard to return as a consultant

and btw local MBBS plus break bond is still around 150k more than oxford med so that dosent make sense either. Get a less prestigious and less internationally recognised degree for 150k more dosent make sense to me

Are you confident you can complete your training? Have you checked the attrition rates of trainees, especially those surgical specialities. You will be surprised at how many people drop out to be a GP
