"Every mind has tremendous innate potential to learn, think and create. My aim is to inspire students and juniors to embark on translational medicine. I find it highly rewarding when I hear from my trainees and mentees on their successful clinching of research awards and the impact they have made on medical science. I firmly believe that education is not about teaching the bits and bytes. Rather, the challenge of teaching is about building unique individual operating systems in every student so that they can query the right information at the right time, learn, assimilate, think, question and understand, and thereby build a self –motivated learning individual. A teacher’s job is to guide, educate, illuminate, stimulate and inspire. Just as I have been inspired by my teachers, I aim to stretch and revolutionise the mind of every student that I take; one mind at a time." - A/Prof Dan Yock Young, Senior Consultant, Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Department of Medicine, National University Hospital
