Anyway lkc medicine without imperial or not . No diff lah.
You still get full Reg.

By the way u only pay 30k per year for lkc education, not the full 100k per year as international student in imperial .
Cheap things no good, good things no cheap.

The Luigi one is Yale NUS but too bad then. Suddenly cancel arrangement,
So since LKCMed no longer paying 'royalty' to Imperial in 2025, does that mean they will reduce the fees?

No reason they charge the current fees since LKC no longer needs to pay money to Imperial after the partnership ends.

3) Besides Polyclinics, what are the other options as Fam
Med trained Dr / Fellow ?

Thanks a lot !
1. with m.med fam med , ac is given to u in 3 years long as u meet requirement, aka average performer.
no chance with gdfm or fam med training from other countries . to become consultant u need fellowship ( but doing fellowship doesn't guarantee u consultant )

2. up to you. it's a mix of clinical, admin , research or teaching. want be clinic head u at least 50 percent admin. become key trainer at least 40 percent teaching.
most of us have a mix. unfortunately u need to see patients no matter what. quota is 45 patient per day

3. public wise, community hospital is where fammies can shine. it's a mix of internal , rehab med. u can dabble a bit of palliative , dementia work if u keen. lastly is transition services seen at fmcc, cgh and ttsh. slightly more complicated cases are handled by them for 3 months before distributed to primary care.

May I know more abt the transition clinic @ eg TTSH you mentioned earlier on? So it is kind of like integrated clinic, seeing more complicated cases and these cases would eventually be discharged to polyclinic after stabilization ? Around how many cases / quota needed to be seen in a day roughly ? Where do these cases come from eg. Referral from other specialty? More complicated general cases referred from somewhere else?
