Survey by medical groups highlights career concerns

KUALA LUMPUR: A survey by Malaysian Medics International (MMI) through doctors’ groups on social media showed that two-thirds of 52 doctors who had completed their housemanship still did not know if they would get contract or permanent medical officer (MO) posts.

The survey, conducted on April 13 and 14, showed that 73.1% of the 52 doctors said they were “floating contract medical officers”.
