SingHealth Duke-NUS Scientific Congress » Pages

Scientific Programme

“	I think the importance of such a meeting is really to bring the network together. Having a Congress such as this one allows the different groups and individuals who will not normally interact to come together. That level of learning, socialising together and understanding what is happening in other departments is critically important to the future of Academic Medicine.

		”
	~ Prof Elizabeth Armstrong Clinical Professor in Paediatrics & Director, Harvard Macy Institute, Harvard Medical School
