I have been teaching human anatomy and physiology at the NUS for the last 14 years. This has culminated in 24 publications concerning the medical sciences, and education. Amongst these, a case report entitled “Is there an optimal environment in which to learn Clinical Anatomy?” garnered 3500 downloads. There is arguably a need for a framework linking the neuroscience, psychology and education. Hence my interest in pedagogical research. I have studied how gamification & artificial intelligence (AI) could contribute to the transformation of medical education. This has resulted in public speeches, student’s publications, and scholarships up to S$100,000 as a Co-PI. In that connection, 1 was recognized with 2 NUHS education awards.

I have disseminated all my teaching materials via a blog. (https://blog.nus.edu.sg/antaet/). Outside my domain, I teach communication skills, Collaborative Learning Cases (CLC), and simulation to clock 160 teaching hours. My previous clinical and scientific experience have helped to shape 280 medical students annually. Integrating anatomy with physiology have helped another 170 Life Science (LSM) students in becoming teachers, and researchers. As the previous LSM 2212 coordinator, I was instrumental in converting it into one meant for cross faculty registration. In essence, I am helping to develop future-ready NUS graduates.

Other achievements include being a reader for Abrahams’ and McMinn’s Atlas of human anatomy and writing at least 4 CLCs for the school. In 2015, I drafted the Collaborative Agreement between NUS and the Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) to teach the allied health students. I am also appointed the Master House Mentor, and associate coach (Newfield, USA) for the medical students. In brief, I believe my passion and innovative approaches to medical and Nursing education will benefit future generation of students.
