Medics, any one working in Singapore or going to be working in Singapore. Would like a private discussion regarding work and future prospects there. If you would be so kind to reply to this or PM me. Would love to hear your 2cents.

nope. still jobless    waiting period was 9 months for the previous batch that just got posted

UK's GMC is introducing UKLMA from 2019 for IMGs, and 2021 for UK grads.

time to change jobs eh? no patient liabilities, no law suits, less life and death situations, I think security guards have it better hey!

it's foolish to be in med for the money.

Job prospect is OZ isn't that great either. Many new fellows doing locum jobs due to no job vacancies. was said that the next 5-10 years wont be that great... and training programs are harder and harder to get in. hmm...

still advisable to go into the medical field? as in future opportunity might be better , i dont have any insider that could give answers to my questions 

It takes much more than big rm to do medicine in Oz,uk etc....unlike msia....

Otherwise many of those doing locally will be there...

FYI, there's clearing places for medicine at St George's and PLymouth!

based on what was stated at the visa extension website, it appears you can apply for extension of tier 2 visa, if you comply with the stated conditions....in any case, almost everybody will be eligible for pr, with the exception of those who came through the imu pathway...

I guess its cheaper as well.. oz is really expensive compared to uk. (except London)

My relative is there doing the final year.

Hi seniors, may I know if I get my housemanship done in east malaysia, can I apply for MO in west malaysia?

Spore has a list of recognised med schools....Check their website....

For offshore programmes, the condition for recognition is that the clinical component of the course must be done in the home country....Hence both numed and Monash msia not recognised...

They will give conditional registration to doctors with post graduate qualifications like MRCP/MRCS irrespective of the primary qualification...

the ntu/imperial med school only graduate their first batch in 2019...and then in small numbers....spore obviously has no intention of training enough doctors themselves....so they will continue to take in img...and they know they have a steady supply, all ready and paid for by others (gov, parents), queuing up to "volunteer"....

Where do you get the stats for this

Yes thank you so much. This is what I was asking tbh. Yes I know I'm still a student and I have a long way more to go and I should be focusing on exam but I wanted to inquire if anyone thought of practicing or continuing to their master overseas, what exactly that needs to be done. Is there extra things I need to prepare during my housemanship?

Errmm...
What I mean is what a 4th year medical student can do.

to be honest, alot of it also comes down to experience and how much hands on you've done or been exposed to during your med school days.
You can study as much and be as passionate as you can but in the end, experiences and being safe play a bigger role here imo.

jckc said hands on experiences as a student is more important, and you seem to disagree with him, as if implying jckc was referring to after graduation...

jckc is right, one of the reasons, and there are many, why so many housemans are incompetent, is simply they have little or no clinical experience...

in some overseas med schools, going to wards and seeing patients is "optional", and some may have ever clerked one or two patient only in their entire med school life...how can one, for example, explore a case in depth, with a russian patient, with a shallow level of russian language?....

so "No. just study hard, bring your brain and heart...." is not enough...this is not a theoretical course where you just study knowledge...

the same problem exists for students in ipts and some ipta...as they do not have their own teaching hospitals...many just leave the students in the crowded wards, with no guidance...and many have very few lecturers, and some of these lecturers are foreigners, most who not actively practicing medicine in msia, sometimes already for years....they are just teaching facts (which you can get from any text books), not the PRACTICE of medicine...
