International Biomedical Challenge 2014
Published: 16 Jun 2014
The International Biomedical Challenge is an annual event organised by Anglo-Chinese Junior College in collaboration with the NUS Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine. It aims to provide a platform for pre-university students to develop their aptitude and potential in the biomedical disciplines, through critical thinking and problem solving. Participants also get to network with like-minded students and the medical academia in Singapore.
On 2nd June 2014, winners of the International Biomedical Challenge 2014 were brought on a tour of the Centre for Healthcare Simulation (CHS) located at the Centre for Translational Medicine (CeTM).
During the tour, the School showcased the High-Fidelity Simulators which mimics the common situations that can be seen in a hospital. Visiting students were in awe as they witnessed a realistic simulated birth delivery performed by the staff at the CHS. They were also offered the opportunity to have hands-on experience with the simulators.
The tour offered students a glimpse into the life of a medical graduate and the School hopes that it will inspire and encourage the students to work hard towards their goal of pursuing a career in medicine.
The School looks forward to International Biomedical Challenge 2015 and would like to thank everyone who played a part in making this event a success.
