So if I dont have family ties in Singapore I can just pack my bags and go?

yes. just make sure your med degree is recognised there. then off you go

date outside med field, i feel like being financially used because the other party thinks im rich. the society thinks docs earn more than they do.
i much rather date and marry within medicine.

Not in Med but I have friends who always want to date docs. Apparently for the prestige?

I think docs study v hard n they r always studying . Intellectually hard to match .

Internship in Australia is not a guarantee for international students and can be quite competitive as you have to fight for leftover internship spots after the locals have filled their quota. With my 2017 graduation cohort only about a third of Singaporeans managed to secure an Australian internship. The rest went back to join MOH.

Only after you pass internship are you eligible to apply for Australian PR. Only after you have PR can you apply for the Australian residency training programmes. Good thing if you make it that far is that Australian residency training programmes are generally well regarded across the world (US/UK/Can/NZ/SG). Nonetheless, it is a very long journey and you need a great deal of commitment and dedication.

Anyone know what the system is like for Canada?

Speech therapist is good career.
Highly respected.

In hosp we always ask them to clear our stroke patients before starting feeding solid foods.
