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
