By loyalty I mean, in addition to bringing a high caliber skill set to Singapore, to also establish a community involved with civil service, volunteerism and also a focus on achieving permanent residence in Singapore. This might be helpful in supplementing Singapore's demographic challenges, although I am not sure how much of an impact it could possibly have -- it would be a start. Any thoughts?

And what are your opinions for anesthesiology in Singapore? Is it possible to work in Singapore immediately after board certification?
Wow, I'm pretty impressed that there are those willing to be involved in helping out our community. Thumbs up from a local singaporean here. As of now, yes, we pretty do need doctors and medical experts. There is demand but little supply due to our one and only med school in NUS. A new med school just opened up but the intake is currently only 50/year so from another singaporean, I welcome you.

Sad, isn't it?

Most elderly patients face multiple chronic health issues and families often choose public healthcare in anticipation of prolonged treatment and recovery or end of life management.

But I know what you mean. I know someone who brings her kids to see ENT surgeons for sore throats and neurologists for headaches. Definite overkill.

ABCDoc, you were looking into the horizon for "up and coming" but pediatrics, oncology and obgyn are mentioned more often in the media and perceived to be more lucrative. Geriatrics is a very public institution niche.
