The NUHS offers 5 Career tracks for individuals to lead and shape healthcare. The tracks will provide opportunities for them to share their inspirations towards innovative development of patient services, healthcare and learning environments. The NUHS career tracks also allow an individual to pursue his/her career goals in his/her area of interest and competencies.
The tracks are distinguished by their focus and time allocation on the clinical, research and teaching missions of NUHS. Doctors on all the clinical tracks should have completed specialist training, and be accredited as specialists by the Singapore Medical Council and the Specialist Accreditation Board.
