PGY1 Programme aims to build a strong foundation for all newly graduated medical students. The programme is designed for our PGY1s to undergo a series of core rotations in accredited hospitals, so as to fulfill requirement for full/ conditional registration with the Singapore Medical Council (SMC).
Helmed by a diverse group of dedicated and outstanding faculty, we aim to ensure the clinical training needs of the PGY1s are met. Besides learning how to be clinically competent and excellent doctors, we aim to instill NUHS TRICE values - Respect, Integrity, Compassion, and Teamwork through participation in numerous volunteerism projects and relevant committees.
The TY Residency will cease AY2019. All PGY1s then will enter into the National PGY1 programme.
