Hear From Our Residents

“What I find most rewarding is accompanying patients through some of their most difficult moments."

Cancer diagnoses bring fear, uncertainty, and challenging decisions, and supporting patients and families is both a privilege and a responsibility. I find it most fulfilling to help patients navigate these moments, make decisions aligned with their values, and find clarity in complex situations. These meaningful relationships and holistic care make Medical Oncology deeply fulfilling.

“This is truly an ecosystem that promotes holistic care on the clinical, research, and psycho-emotional fronts, with patients at the heart of all we do..”

Medical Oncology has truly been a humbling journey – a privilege to walk with our patients through their most vulnerable moments, entrusted with their hope and faith. 

At the same time, the programme challenges us intellectually, supported by committed faculty members who are deeply invested in our learning. The constant advances in cancer care offer new wells of knowledge, and there are numerous opportunities to nurture and guide future generations. 

SingHealth provides an unrivalled volume and variety of casemix, which is crucial in our journey of growth and development.

“There are days when the work becomes very tough, but we always persevere – thanks to the camaraderie, kindness, and steady support of friends and seniors who truly care.”

It is mind-boggling how much our understanding of cancer biology has advanced in the last few decades. Patients today have many more treatment options. 

However, cancer remains a tenacious disease, and the experience is still incredibly challenging for our patients. It is profoundly meaningful to be allowed on their cancer journey. 

Each encounter teaches invaluable lessons about resilience, hope, and the strength of the human spirit and relationships.
