A PUBLICATION OF THE
NUS YONG LOO LIN SCHOOL OF MEDICINE
Issue 20 / November 2016
DEAN'S MESSAGE
Dear Reader,
Compassion, commitment and an abiding concern for the health and well-being of the community are three themes which feature prominently in the articles found in this issue of MediCine.
They are sounded in the traditional White Coat Ceremony welcoming freshmen Medicine students to the School at the start of their studies, and echoed in the annual, student-led Neighbourhood Health Service that is into its 10th year. We hear these 3Cs reiterated in the sharing of a specialist-in-training and see them expressed in our students’ outreach to migrant workers.

Behind The Lens
Phase I Medicine student Ching Ann Hui made local news recently when she won the CDL Singapore Young Photographer Award (CDL SYPA). She explains her love for the art form.
Picture above: The faces of togetherness and happiness juxtapose with the sobriety and solitude of the subject. There is the proliferation of photos of ‘the good life’ on social media that is unrealistic and warp our sense of normalcy, ironically intensifying negativity.
