DEAN'S MESSAGE

Dear Reader,

As we begin a new year, I would like to highlight some of our recent accomplishments.

This past July we graduated 302 new doctors and 158 new nurses. With 216 receiving support through bursaries and scholarships, many of these new healthcare professionals would not have been able to complete their medical studies without help from the School’s generous supporters. It is very heartening to note that 22 of the 68 bursaries at the School were established by our alumni.

Our graduates benefited from a curriculum that goes well beyond traditional teaching methods. As an example, using the Virtual Interactive Simulation Environment, they “became” members of an emergency medical response team, learning how to triage casualties and perform respiratory, circulatory and physical disability assessments. As part of a community service elective, they took part in community initiatives under the School’s GoHelp programme, such as the Public Health Service, which provides health screenings to thousands of HDB households. It is important to us that as doctors of the future, they are motivated to actively give back to the community even as students.
