I had read from a blogger who is an active member of the MMA regarding posting of medical officer. The medical officer post of KKM if almost filled up last year. That means, houseman might have to wait for their MO posting if there is no post available. As GP clinic flourishing and the pay of GP would become lesser.
GP get pay less + MO pay rise - > less MO go to private -> less MO go to private= less post available -> HO had to wait for MO posting (in the house) and eventually HO is jobless indefinitely as there is no MO post available.
In the future doctor would be jobless like self trained pilot in
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI should call u "xue zhang", i am from Taiwan too, Port klang guy. Can I ask u a question?
I am going to finish the PGY(post graduate year) on coming August, intending to back malaysia after my course. Seen I read ur blog that MO posting seems to become full, I wondering, base on ur opinion, is it still possible for me to apply the MO directly, instead of houseman?
I will be so appreciate if I can get some of ur opinion. Looking forward ur reply.
Regards,
Boo

ReplyDeleteI doubt you could directly apply for MO, the current HO training in Malaysia is 1.5 years instead of 1 year PGY training here. The HO trainning covered the 3 major (OnG, Med, Surgery) and 2 minor(paeds, ortho) posting and the PGY focus on Medicine, Surgery and community medicine. The scope are different and the MMC would need solid evidence that your training as PGY is equivalent as the HO trainning in Malaysia. However the training in all the posting is rock solid and one could really learn something during the 1.5 year...
ReplyDeletebut yet, I would encourage you to complete your basic specialist training here.....
