Look forward to a rich and diverse experience at the NUHS Residency Program.
Teaching Excellence
- Experienced team of passionate and nurturing teachers
-
Immersion in a culture of excellence through
continual improvement
 
- Expertise in the Medical Education Unit that promotes professionalism and excellence in medical education through: (a) faculty development, (b) medical curriculum development and (c) research in medical education
Research Excellence
- NUHS Research Office that promotes and facilitates research activites and supports young biomedical researchers through mentorship and start-up programs
- Investigational Medicine Unit (IMU), a key node that integrates ongoing research programs together with upcoming ones in experimental therapeutics and investigational medicine
- Structured research training opportunities e.g. Clinician Leadership in Research program and Master of Clinical Investigation program
Clinical Excellence
- Excellent clinical outcomes. We strive to achieve the highest quality standards. This is monitored by the tracking of clinical quality indicators across the different departments.
Location
- Strong links to NUS Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine which facilitates easy access to information and the medical community
- Physical proximity to NUS and Biopolis provides opportunity for the multi-disciplinary exchange of research ideas
- Plans to develop the NUHS campus, such as integrated training facilities into the clinical care areas, provides an ideal learning environment
- One Integrated Hospital Site - which includes both Paediatrics and Obstetrics & Gynaecology
Facilities
- State of the art training facilities for Surgery at our very own Khoo Teck Puat Advanced Surgery Training Centre
- Replica of the actual HD and ICU set-up through a Simulation Lab. It has a high-fidelity simulation mannequin that is able to simulate most critical medical conditions in an ICU environment for practical training
 
- The MD6 Centre for Translational Medicine, which features specialized Research Laboratories and a Simulated Hospital environment, will be operational end 2011.
- The new NUH Medical Centre, with dedicated space for clinical care, research and teaching, will be completed in 2013.
Caseload
- Being an Academic Medical Centre, and a tertiary specialist hospital, we have a rich and diverse caseload both in adult and paediatric conditions as we have virtually all sub specialties in NUHS. Moreover, rotations through the various sub-specialties are easy as they are grouped under one cluster rather than individual departments.
- Caseload mix will provide an unsurpassed source of training materials for our residents
- The number of residents we take in under the NUHS Residency Program will ensure that all our residents have sufficient numbers of the right type of caseload for training
Community Outreach
Looking Forward
- Good preparation for a career in academic medicine
- Proper career tracks for those who are interested in becoming master clinicians, clinician educators, clinician investigators, clinician scholars and clinician scientists
- Strong links with the future Jurong Health Services will ensure that many opportunities await the NUHS residents
