SINGAPORE is looking to revamp the training of medical specialists in a move that will produce specialists in five years, down from seven now.
The proposed move will drop the one year of housemanship. This means that, after four years of basic medical training, young doctors will launch into five years of training in any one of 35 existing specialities. They will do this as residents at one particular hospital.
Under the current system, doctors must do four years of basic training and a year of housemanship.
