Just as lousy or worse. Telemed takes a lot more time per patient but doesnt pay more per patient in fact less. Good for patients bad for the dr

u become hired gp churn patients no point la. but eventually solo, having more knowledge will show.
u want to make 12k as a hired hand forever or build a patient base that u can gradually charge more as a practice owner?
ops difficult cases we also just refer ma to be honest. a lot of things like urinary incontinence , menopause I can manage but I also refer. eczema, acne patient say want see derm I v happy. put patient request and refer. soc also need quota, but those who dun want soc I can treat it as well..and I dare say even better than soc becuase with the experience with patients I can read them v well and know what's missing.
soc sometimes focus too much on the medicine but forget the human sitting Infront of them.

My senior just passed mmed, pay is 8.6k plus 1250 for mmed, together with 50k bonus given over 3 years. Bonus average 3-4 mths including AWS. (Depending on performance)

Heard AC starting basic 12 k leh, where got same?

Why you dont do the math? $8600+$1250+($50,000/3/12)= $11,238.89
About same as $12k lah.

And also this is after 3.5 years of FM residency / MMed FM compared to 5/6 years to reach AC level for internists.

the normal m.med fp annual bonus also a bit more than hospital based ac.
not all hopsital ac same. eg Sgh internal med is 11 base plus 3k allowance. their bonus is 3 months all in , so 11x15 plus 36 is about 200k while Im ac at other cluster not even 12 yet , something like 11.7 so not even 180k per year.
if u higher flyer in ops, the package also a bit fatter.
clinic head or deputy can get to 2 or 3 months more bonus.
if ur ranking high, some compoenet also have higher multiplier,eg your colleague 1.25k, u might get 1.5k.
many threads ago got someone post his annual pay. that one is for a higher flyer la.

Wait so IM con at other clusters don't have the 3k allowance that sgh gives? Wow that's a big pay disparity. Always thought public institution pays around the same (maybe +/- few hundred) for new ACs, never knew got such gap.

Does anyone knows how much Principal Investigators for research trials make? I'm a dukie student keen in that career pathway, thanks.
