Residency Programmes

Allied Health Residency

Allied health residency programmes incorporate both direct patient care and practice leadership.

The residency programmes provide allied health professionals with advanced clinical and skills training. Through a structured competency-based training framework and curriculum that incorporates opportunities to work with a wide range of patients under the guidance of experienced mentor(s), trainees can achieve professional and clinical competence in their respective advanced areas of practice.

In June 2017, a steering committee was set up to look into the development of an Allied Health residency framework. The steering committee aims to:

• Develop a residency framework relevant to SingHealth allied health professionals
• Establish guidelines on residency curriculum development
• Formulate training on development of residency programme
• Develop strategies to raise awareness of residency among SingHealth allied health professionals
• Promote interprofessional collaboration within residency programmes

There are currently 7 allied health residency programmes within SingHealth:

• CGH Cardiac Device Residency SGH Pharmacy Residency in Critical Care (PGY2)
• SGH Core Residency in Cardiopulmonary Physiotherapy
• SGH Core Residency in Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy
• SGH Core Residency in Neurological Physiotherapy
