“Children are not just fragile lives that need protection; they are bursting with potential, waiting to be unleashed. By caring for them, we are safeguarding their chance to change the world.”
"The Paediatric Surgery Programme has allowed me to develop both my surgical and clinical skills as well as given me opportunities to further explore my passion in research and education."
Part of the reason I joined the programme was the fact that I enjoy working with kids and am fascinated with the diversity of congenital conditions encountered in Paediatric Surgery. I have received tremendous support from all faculty members in the department, especially from my Programme Director, Head of Department and Division Chair of Surgery which allowed me to expand my horizons and learn from inspiring senior clinicians in Singapore and abroad. The Paediatric Surgery Clinician Scientist programme has also provided me with plenty of research support and mentorship which I have found invaluable in my residency journey.
"Having seniors who are actively invested in my learning and always readily willing to share from their rich breadth of experience has greatly contributed to my personal development."
In addition, having a rather supportive circle of fellow residents has truly been a blessing. Because of them (and our often adorable patients), I am able to look forward to work on any given day. Our training is also carefully structured to maximise our exposure to the various sub-specialties within the scope of paediatric surgery. I am grateful for the privilege to be part of this residency programme.
"Besides learning from inspiring seniors while honing my clinical acumen and surgical skills, I also really enjoy seeing the smiles of recovered patients."
Paediatric Surgery programme has been a great experience so far. I have received a lot of support from the Faculty, Programme Executives and made friends with Residents from other programmes. They have become an important source of support along this journey. I have always wanted to work at KKH's Paediatric department and it is a decision that I do not regret. Besides learning from inspiring seniors while honing my clinical acumen and surgical skills, I also really enjoy seeing the smiles of recovered patients.
"I have various opportunities to pursue areas in Research, Education and Quality Improvement."
I am blessed to have a very dedicated Programme Director who guides me in managing the various adult conditions in the paediatric population. This programme offers ample opportunities for self-development which helps me to develop my skills as a clinician and surgeon. I have various opportunities to pursue areas in Research, Education and Quality Improvement. I like the breadth of subspecialties as it gives me a broad-based knowledge to prepare for the different challenges that I will face in managing paediatric surgical patients.
