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. We look at the curriculum not only in terms of a list
of syllabi, but also the correct pedagogy and assessment method to
impart knowledge to you.
Competence and compassion towards our
patients are equally important. We will develop in you, through role
modeling, how to support our patients and their family through this
difficult period, instead of just focusing on medical treatment. This
holistic approach calls for a broader understanding of the practice of
medicine.
Medicine today is complex and requires team effort. We
will groom you as our Resident to work well within a team, and if you
are called to lead one, to know the important attributes of a great
leader.
Medical knowledge and technology change rapidly. A
technology cycle can be as short as three years. So it is very important
that we inculcate in you the habit of continuous learning, not just for
examinations, but for good and fruitful lifelong practice.
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
- Clinical Quality and Patient Safety
- Communications and Teamwork
- Research Literacy and Health Outcome Research
- Ethics and Professionalism
- Counseling and Teaching
- Preparation for More Responsibilities
- Career Guidance
Your responsibilities will be graded based on the level of your capabilities but we will balance supervision with your freedom to explore and learn.
Teaching takes place during work, at the bedside, in the classrooms, in the skills laboratory, and even in cyberspace. In-service teaching is organized to make the most of all patient contact times.
