1. SingHealth and NHG Hospital Attachments
Two separate hospital attachments are available. They will be held at SingHealth and NHG Hospitals for one and two weeks respectively, and you may choose either one of the two.The details are as follows:
NHG tour: 12-19th July 2008 at National University Hospital, Tan Tock Seng Hospital, Alexandra Hospital, Institute of Mental Health, National Skin Centre and Bukit Batok Polyclinic
SingHealth attachments: 11-17 Aug 2008 at KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital, Singapore General Hospital or Changi General Hospital (depending on speciality of interest)
These attachments are a great opportunity to experience firsthand Singapore’s healthcare system as well as to find out more about the two largest public healthcare service providers in Singapore. In addition, you will be able to get some experience working in a hospital, shadowing and meeting medical professionals, and have an idea of working life in Singapore before you graduate. It will certainly put what you are learning in university into some perspective.
If you’re interested in participating, do reply to your university reps or email : jean2000sg@gmail.com by 20th April 2008, or as soon as possible, with the following: Name, School, Email address, Choice of attachment (NHG or SingHealth), Choice of department or specialty (if any)

2. Research Attachments with A*STAR & Pharmaceutical Companies
Want to do something useful this summer? 6 weeks of research attachments with companies such as A*STAR as well as pharmaceutical companies are available starting from the 1st week of July to Mid August.Besides looking good on your CV, its a great way to gain work experience, learn about other medically-related fields, and discover for yourself what research is about.
So if you’re interested, awaken your inner scientist and email ming.lee06@ic.ac.uk with your names, university, year, and research field of interest (e.g. stem cells, cancer, neurology, pharmacology etc) by Sunday, 13th April 2008.
