Programmes Overview

Postgraduate Year 1 (PGY1)

All medical students in Singapore are required to complete one year of Postgraduate Year 1 (PGY1) training at their preferred institution before embarking on their Residency journey. The SingHealth PGY1 Programme promises to provide a fulfilling learning experience that will ease the transition from undergraduate medical education to Residency with the aim to develop competent doctors.
