All I got to say here may offend many of the silent reader or even on going doc-to-be.

To answer your question. You have to understand the whole situation now.

You have your long tern goal and short term goal (which you already have), and keep up to date on how to survive... Best if having a local mentor or even some practicing doctor friends (quite hard to get).

Thing getting nasty because
- everyone can become docs. Provided you have the moolahh
- Training hospital is very very little. But the number of HO is massive.
- Syllabus of med school aren't regulated. And sometimes goes haywire. Some school expect you to learn by your own, but without a clear guidelines. End up wither study a lot of unnecessary or study too little.
- HO tenure is 2 years. Which is quite long.
- HO MO are underpaid IMHO.

Hope youre not the one who think doc = money

I don't know how the regulation of MOH going on. But many which I know even their SPM entry requirement having problems. MUET is another problems.

And those coming back from middle east, Russia, India, etc etc *but not sure now they still will be accepted into the system* you will have to fight with them. Beside those overseas, local private and local public.

Rotten apples are everywhere. Not only in medical field. And these people will drag down the images of HO, and if you're the good one, but your head will have doubt on you....

But before you think of the HO, think of the contract and how long to wait.... People say med student future are so bleak now. I don't know what to comment also...


Aiks, where I talk now. All taking irrelevant points. haha


But honestly I hope everyone studying med is doing well and can contribute to the community in come days.
