Watch Part 2: Dropping next week, SUBSCRIBE so you don't miss it!

I get plenty of DMs asking about life as a locum doctor from both doctors and the general public, so I decided to answer your top questions in this 2-part video. I’ll cover what it's actually like to be a locum GP in Singapore: how shifts work, what the pay looks like, what you gain, what you give up, and whether it’s suitable for you.

I'm Faith, a locum GP and content creator based in Singapore. This video is my attempt to give you an honest, inside look at this career path, including the parts that don't usually make it into the highlight reel.
