    Interesting but challenging
    The good thingsComfortable working conditions with complete facilities. Many experienced consultants and specialists able to guide, frequent of teaching opportunities. Lots of clinical exposure, courses, and training. Efficient administrative management in HR. Computerised system makes for quick, easy tracing and placing orders.
    The challengesOccasional berating from a few “bad apples”. Computerised system clearly needs an upgrade as there are several system failures/maintenance issues every so often. Maldistribution of house officers sometimes result in understaffed departments and frozen leaves. Very limited and difficult parking spaces.
