Overview
Staying at the forefront of medical excellence, SingHealth is introducing the Residency Program as part of its postgraduate medical education.
Graduate medical education (GME) in Singapore is traditionally modeled after the British system. While that system has served the healthcare sector well for many years, constant innovation and adoption of best practices is essential to meet with evolving healthcare demands.
Taking the lead from Singapore’s Ministry of Health (MOH), SingHealth is incorporating the Residency Program as part of its postgraduate medical education. The program features many positive elements:
 |
Structured education curriculum
The program is founded on a structured training framework, modeled after established standards advised by the American Council for Graduate Medical Education International (ACGME-I). This formative curriculum is designed for quality residency training, with standard training requirements based on a set of core competencies¹.
|
 |
Continuous formative assessment
A structured evaluation system is in place to provide continuous, periodic assessment of residents’ skills and performances. Such rigorous monitoring systems increase learning efficiency through consistent reviews of training processes and outcomes.
|
 |
Dedicated core faculty
The program faculty comprises a dedicated group of established SingHealth clinician-teachers with protected time for residency training. This ensures a high level of accountability and close supervision of residents’ training, better empowering them for independent medical practice.
