This year? 2025 has just started. 30 new faces in 2025? You are exaggerating, arent you?

Give them credits. From India to UK and then back to Asia. Not easy.

FM/GP super easy to enter in uk, especially if you choose outside London.

Just go all-in into Nvidia. AI is the future. Chips are needed in all big tech companies. This stock will outperform anything else in the market.

Why NVIDIA and not other AI companies?

Their exams are crazily difficult. Structured answer questions for finals. And their osce is tough. Their examiners ask about disease pathology in the osces.

Flinders way easier. All my written exams were entirely MCQ. All my osces also involve me taking a history and giving diagnosis. Nothing else needed

honestly this is very untrue... I admit I am the odd one out in the Singaporean batch who went to flinders because all of them graduated on time, and I was the only one who repeated 2 years.

but there's many flinders grads doing well. residency selection doesn't depend solely on your university name.

.nuhs.edu.sg/patient-care/find-a-doctor/doctor-details/Sara_Cheo here's a flinders grad who is currently a GI C.

here's another one who's a gynae at Thomson medical .thomsonmedical.com/find-an-expert/dr-daniel-koh
