Am in aesthetics now and earning relatively decent around $20000 a month at the age of 32

But bro you got the general license in Australia already.
That means two things right?
- You can always apply for their 189 100 PR offshore given australian doctor (even non-specialist) are on shortage list so one day you have some savings you could just move with your family
- Your 10-year moratorium started during PGY1, now still counting down after returning to SG so in 7-8 years time you could just return, continue train for 1-2 yeard to get your FRACGP and live in suburbs and chill.

This forum isn’t that useful cos there’s barely any specialists and mostly GPs who don’t really know much about the specialist hiring or PHI system

What about being a GP in North America? USA? Canada?
Cars and Houses are cheaper there. Is the salary comparable to Singapore GPs? More? Less?

To be honest, if I wanted a PR and further training, I could have gotten it easily years ago.. ex gf is an Aussie girl.. but I moved back to SG for family reasons

From my research I know of 2 Singaporean specialists in USA. A surgeon and a cardiologist. Canada got 2 Family doctors previously from Singapore.

Google Dr Eric Hong, he’s a multimillionaire interventional and imaging cardiologist practising at Mount E. s://.eheartspecialist.com/our-specialist.html
He did his medical degree in Ireland and headed straight to the USA for training. Incredible pedigree, he was hired as the medical director at NUH’s cardiac imaging department straight after his fellowship training in the USA.
Truly a rare breed of Singaporean doctor who studied, trained entirely abroad using own family money. Didn’t even depend on a dime of SG government taxpayer money

Why don't more Singaporeans do that?
What about Singapore doctors that have moved abroad to practice for good?
Seeing that this forum is mostly GPs, my question is why don't they move abroad to work instead of staying in Singapore?
Is it just as bad being a GP or Family Physician overseas as it is in Singapore?

Way better in SG because of our low taxes and property market appreciation. It’s easy to be reliably in rich as a GP.
Buy a BTO already Huat 300k-500k after MOP.. GP lan lan can also make at least 200k/year min. Save that and invest into dividend bank stocks multiply even more

So what's the problem then? Be GP already can be rich. Why so hard up must specialize? Must do aesthetics?
