"The Cardiothoracic Surgery Residency Programme in SingHealth is an excellent choice for Residents to train in."

The Cardiothoracic Surgery Residency Programme in SingHealth is an excellent choice for Residents to train in. We are given the opportunity to be exposed to a wide variety of surgical treatments and transplantations for heart and lung conditions at the National Heart Centre of Singapore.

There is a supportive environment within the department where I am able to receive regular feedback and guidance from my peers, seniors and Faculty. Their constructive feedback has helped to shape me into a holistic clinician that I am today.

"I appreciate that people around us are trying to make our learning as productive as possible."

I chose SingHealth Residency because I enjoy the time I have spent as a doctor in the academic healthcare cluster. The seniors are accomplished surgeons but are also humble. The environment has been supportive and nurturing. There is an emphasis on education and the need to train junior doctors. I enjoy the learning opportunities that are given to me as a Resident and I appreciate having adequate time off to devote to my passions. I appreciate that people around us are trying to make our learning as productive as possible.

"The spirit here is an echelon above the rest. The department constantly provides a supportive learning environment where the seniors are always willing to share their invaluable knowledge and experience with the juniors."

I chose SingHealth Residency because it is an excellent training ground with a large surgical case-mix, clinical opportunities as well as top notch supervisors. I see my confidence growing exponentially in both technical and clinical aspects of surgery. The spirit here is an echelon above the rest. The department constantly provides a supportive learning environment where the seniors are always willing to share their invaluable knowledge and experience with the juniors. I am honoured to be part of such an exceptional team.
