I tier accordingly to their business sustainability la.

1. most reputable is polyclinics. Iron rice bowl. you dun huat there, but u can slowly farm. No residency never mind. Can GDFM -> m.med -> FCFP and accordingly FP -> AC FP - C FP etc.
AC FP out earns most salaried GPs already even with 8-5 working workweek
Even GDFM FP makes a decent 150-160K a year for a start.


2. next will be large groups. 1st tier will be raffles, shenton etc. Second tier will be those like frontier, northwest , faith etc.
3rd tier will be those upstart like pinnacle, one care, mimed etc. Pinnacle go bid 39K for a HDB shop space. How to be sustainable? you become anchor for that clinic u also suck thumb wondering if your job is secured. Minmed wants a clinic in every MRT station. Onecare wants to open 1 clinic in every estate.


Market so saturated.
You can survive without being on healthier SG.
Just how well only.

Remember , as a private GP u got a job only as long as the clinic makes money for the owner. one day you dun see 30-40 patients, the clinic cannot break even.
when you work for the polyclinic, the polyclinic lose money also ok. you dun go download porn or molest girls like the doctors on the news, your job is secured.

Nowadays PGY2 or 3 breaking bonds to open clinic already.
market is saturated until like gout crystals with uric acid level of 600.
tophi already happening
what happen next? Pain lor...

every year 500-600 local graduate. 200-300 from overseas
Total training spots including FM at 300-350
Every year 300 excess MO without training positions
After a while go where? private GP lo
the tophi will only worsen
then private space become full what happens?
go back hospital la

So those hospital clinician position is not bad one,
You start early now PGY3 u enter, PGY 6 hit senior clinician, PGY 10 hit principal same pay as consultant

Go look up NHS. we are basically a repeat of them

Damage done liao.

anyway, grab it while u can la folks
Got 15K , 18K salary grab it. Esp if its a reputable group that is sensible. Eg frontier, raffles etc.
You really don't want to be caught in the situation with this kind of fledging group where you get let off because your 39K clinic rent isn't earning enough to justify your salary. How are you gonna be paying the mortgage on the 2 million dollar 1200 square feet condo you just bought in Clementi if you lost ur job? Your wife who married you for the channel bag isn't gonna be very happy when u can't pay for it when you are jobless.

Pandemic over. No more endless easy 80 bucks URTI consult liao.
USA inflation ending
Singapore errection coming, so inflation will be curb one way or another.
Prices gonna moderate
GP salary too.

Now you all GPs are gonna be suckered into healthier SG. Basically gonna take over some of the polyclinic job. Hehehe.... i dunno how you all are gonna do it. somehow MOH thinks that by writing some guidelines , the GPs will be able to handle things.
If you can learn medicine just by books, no need residency liao. People can become cardiologist just by reading textbooks.
Can I ask which are the reputable groups? Realistically can go survive if they choose not to do HSG? I understand up till now, there are still GPS who are not Chas clinic (i.e refuse)
