"Most importantly, there is a strong camaraderie among peers and seniors alike, and these friendships have helped form some of my best memories through my residency journey!"

The Singhealth Orthopaedic Residency programme is a comprehensive training programme that maximises the benefit of high clinical volumes with a well thought out combination of rotations, providing breadth of exposure and ensuring that residents have no shortage of learning opportunities. 

Mentorship from highly experienced faculty at the forefront of their respective fields have also inspired me to strive to be as best as I can be. There are also ample opportunities not just for clinical development, but also in areas such as research and education, which has provided me with a well-rounded training experience.
