NHG-AHPL Residency Program comprises the busy and vibrant institutions of Tan Tock Seng Hospital, Khoo Teck Puat Hospital, Institute of Mental Health, National Skin Centre, and National Healthcare Group Polyclinics. The volume and variety of patients that pass through our doors present excellent opportunities for you to develop your potential as a doctor. But what sets the NHG-AHPL Residency Program apart is our dedication and commitment to nurturing the doctors of tomorrow. We have, to date, the highest number of clinicians who have won the NUS-YLL Dean’s Award for Teaching Excellence.

Building on our proud tradition of teaching while embracing today’s challenges, the NHG-AHPL Residency Program aims to educate future physicians who will care for their patients with competence and compassion, in an environment that fosters collegiality, leadership, and excellence in research.

RESIDENCY ROADMAP

Your life as our Resident is planned from Day One. A strong curriculum is in place to train you to become a proficient and competent doctor. You will attain the skills to develop your career as a doctor with training in the following areas:

•    Program and Specialty Clinical Knowledge and Skills
•    Life Support and ICU Skills

In-service teaching is organized to make the most out of all patient contact times.
