They are usually employed in an area of need. Eg community hospitals, A&E , polyclinic , gen med services at some point in the last 20 years.
They then do the academy of singapore diploma then convert to conditional reg.
Some of them heng heng got full reg but quite rate.
But overall the experience with them not very good so got spoken rule to TRY to not give them full registration.

now we have so much manpower. Every year 700 HOs
3 years 2000 MOs liao.
not much reason to hire doc on unschedule list of med schools la.

The problem is these 700ho so many leak to aesthetics medicine
Nobody keen to devote their lives to do ho and junior mo work 4eva anymore
Very sad
What's wrong with the world

You do realise that top UK unis have even stricter entry requirements than SG unis rite. UCAT/BMAT etc
Every top UK med school is ranked globally higher than NUS and almost every med school in both aus and uk on the second schedule is considerably clear of NTU

at this point, it is clear that you arent even a doctor

Think about it from their perspective. Unlike GP, aesthetics has career progresssion in addition to high starting pay. Why would those who are not interested in residency stay in PHI and continue to work longer hours for lesser pay

I heard now major changes to phi for junior doctors, post call can go home at 8am, no more prerounding for HOs, (all come at 8 to round together), and more importantly it is actually enforced now

Looking for advice on how to be a full time telemedicine general practitioner, understand that telemedicine is currently under scrutiny, but I have to quit full time clinic work due to family circumstances (transitioning to be a full time caregiver), would appreciate any advice / experiences / knowledge regarding how to go about becoming a full time telemedicine doctor. Thank you.

Tougher for their locals la.
You go as full fee paying international is compete amongst yourself for the full fee spots.
Already competing at second tier liao because first tier all nus/ntu or Cambridge/Oxford liao. Got money can't be can't find a UK or auzzie school that do not accept you. Unless U are that chui.
I find it v funny when I meet UK students who seem to think they are a pedigree. Ey..my imperial got limited slots one you know, U think v easy to get in ah?
Declaration: I'm from a 3rd tier auzzie uni which is not even on the second schedule now. I never look down on anyone but I also dun pretend I'm cream of the local crop. I accept my lot in life and happy with what I have.

There are 2 types that go into aesthetics.
Some really dedicated.
From start already decide then do relevant posting like derm, surgery, plastics etc.
Some even go learn human portraiture to learn about facial contours
Even so most will hang around the system while learning on the side.


Then there are the rest which is the majority.
Typical story is probably quite blur as HO. Then Mo time decide want to do a residency.
Try that particular competitive residency for 1 or 2 years.
Realise they suck and can't get in.
Hear say aesthetic can earn a lot.
Scramble do the coc.
Pay money to attend some fake American academy of aesthetic diploma
Then jump at whichever clinic happens to be hiring cheap man power.
80 percent failed to meet kpi, clinic do not retain them
10 percent go setup own aesthetic clinic. Of these 90 percent fail.
Become locum gp.

Around me I actually see more successful gp than esthetician Q1 di lei.
