From Jan 1, house officers — provisionally registered doctors still under training and supervision by their seniors — and first-year medical officers can expect a 7 to 13 per cent increase in their starting salaries, said MOH on Thursday .
According to jobs platform Indeed, house officers and MOs employed by MOH Holdings — the holding company of Singapore’s public healthcare clusters — take home average monthly salaries of around S$5,000 to S$6000. Emergency department and night float allowance rates for all MOHH doctors will also be revised from Feb 1.
Night float refers to doctors working night shifts for consecutive days, without working during the daytime.
