what would you do/life advice hi everyone, new to this forum and would like some advice on a dilemma I'm currently facing. Currently, I've received an offer from LKC and some T10 schools in the US (duke university, university of Chicago). i understand how difficult it is to get into both medical school in SG and probably even more difficult to get into top schools in the US, and would like advice on which to pick, hence have some qns: 1. hows the hours like in HO/MO and their respective remuneration? hows career progression like as well? how likely is it for one to specialise in SG with the push for more GPs and on average how long does one take to make it to residency/AC/C? if one chooses to become a GP outside or in private sector normally how much does one make? 2. what must one have to make it into the residency of their choice (is it by publishing research, doing electives with said department, getting dean's list, etc etc)? 3. can I ask if there's any discrimination for LKC grads vs YLL grads in SG when it comes to residency intakes? 4. to all the doctors here, if u guys could choose again, would u choose to become a doctor again? or go into other sectors? 5. any advice you would like to give to someone intending to pursue medicine? if any of yall have been in my scenario as well, stuck between local med vs a top school overseas in the US/UK, what would yall do? for more context, I will probably be studying econs in the US (on a govt scholarship hopefully) and end up working in the public service. for more context, I think for a very long while I wasn't able to see myself doing anything apart from medicine, but I think the pandemic really exposed the harsh working conditions of doctors, and that the rigour of doing medicine is probably something that is not to be underestimated, and hence I worry I'll be disillusioned or feel jaded as a doctor. while a safe job in terms of low retrenchment, the remuneration per hour is also quite poor, and its really difficult to specialise as well. Never expected to get into such good schools in the US as well(hence the dilemma), where if I go, I think its a good opportunity to broaden my horizons and try to get experience in finance/consulting related jobs, but will definitely still come back due to the scholarship bond. That said, am unsure if scholarship and public service progression will be that good as well, as it is with a small stat board. so what would yall do in my position? do medicine or go overseas w scholarship and work in public service? or any advice in general on how to decide? hope I haven't come off to naive/bright-eyed in this post, and would really appreciate any advice. thank you! |

| Unregistered | Besides contacting HR department of hospitals and universities, where can one find out more information about salaries? This seems to be a taboo topic, even in an anonymous forum like this. Glassdoor isn't accurate. | |
