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”.
None of the 39 respondents knew the status of their MO placements, though 46.2% of them indicated that they knew the selection criteria for being retained as permanent MOs.One respondent said that to most superiors, floating contract MOs were perceived as being on the same skill level as senior housemen, while another said that specialists tended to have higher expectations of permanent MOs as opposed to floating MOs.
Top concerns included job security and the unclear implications of being on contract, while others were worried about their eligibility to apply for Master’s programmes, career advancement, training benefits and privileges.
