Longitudinal Patient Experience Programme
The Longitudinal Patient Experience (LPE) programme is a one full of aspiration, which seeks to inculcate the familiar and yet often overlooked values of empathy, patience, kindness and promote engagement through a one-year community-based longitudinal follow-up of patients living in the community with chronic illnesses. This Phase I medical student volunteer programme is a faculty-supported initiative that was introduced in 2011 and has steadily grown in popularity over the years since. In the past year, a total of 238 out of 300 medical students participated in this programme; this year, 222 out of 300 medical and 62 nursing students chose to undertake this journey.
