Residency
Introduction
The NUHS Otolaryngology Residency started in 2011. Most of the residents who have exited from the programme are working within the NUHS cluster. Continuity in leadership of the programme and the clinical learning environment has led to a strong platform for residency education. We have more than 20 full-time faculty staff spanning across Alexandra Hospital, National University Hospital and Ng Teng Fong Hospital. Residents will have the opportunity to train at these sites. All the subspecialties within Otolaryngology is available, with expertise in Head & Neck Surgery, Rhinology, Otology, Skull base Surgery and Paediatric Otolaryngology.
The emphasis in the programme is to train our residents to be excellent clinicians and be future leaders in research and education. Due to the strong ties with the National University of Singapore, Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, there are opportunities for teaching and research. Residents have the opportunities to take up appointments within the undergraduate medical school to conduct teaching and undergo faculty development in medical education.
Research can also be conducted with other faculties within the National University of Singapore. All residents participate in scholarly activities that include clinical research, quality improvement and medical education.
