The Road to MO-ship

Almost there. Sauce


Or should I say, 'well-beaten yet overgrown dirt path'?

I cannot find good resources on how people filled out the forms required for MO-ship.

Where I'm concerned, the process I'm currently undergoing (because I still have yet to receive my MMC number and would say I'm not really qualified to say anything of it) is rather easy so far. As I have documented earlier during my early HO days, my hospital's administration staff are highly helpful and efficient. I just ask and they will provide.

Just makes our jobs a lot easier; I can't begin to imagine how much of a headache the staff in charge of us feels, now that there are over 100 HOs in the hospital (I kid you not)! But she's always very pleasant and eager to help.

Anyways, once I have more details I will update this space.

For now, all I can say is:

1) Send your logbook from your 5th posting EARLY. Try at least 2 weeks before ending, so your admin staff's work is easier.

2) Prepare RM150 for the full registration fee (which could be reimbursed later LOL) and this will have to be done by wang pos, mostly.

3) Think (and pray) hard about what you want to do later and where.

4) Don't get hung up on a specific place/department to practice for now, unless you're married or have strong cables (yaknowwhat'msayin') OR have passed the first part of the paper, if applicable (i.e. MRCS, MRCP and the ilk).

5) Don't panic and freak out.
Which is exactly what I'm doing.

And perhaps,what I should be doing better,
6) PREPARE MONEY FOR THE UPCOMING UPROOTING TO UNCHARTED TERRITORY.
Movers and house rental deposits? Not cheap y'all, not cheap.

7) Get credit cards
Seriously, don't panic and freak out. Just keep revising man. It's all on you in a few months, man. All that responsibility and life-altering decisions.
All you.
So, you know, don't freak out or anything. It's chill.

  1. Good luck! And if I may ask, what are you going to do next as a MO? Any long term plan and how to achieve it?

    1. Thanks so much! I have something in my mind, and several plans on how to achieve it but it's all tied to where I get posted. As for now my full registration isn't even being processed yet haha. So we'll see ^^
