Finalised Dates of NHG Attachment
This is a notice regarding the NHG attachments.
TTSH managed to schedule two well respected clinicians (Assoc Prof Tham Kum Ying and Dr Charles Vu) to talk to students in a newly added tour on the 7th of July. Thus, they have extended their invitation to smsl members who are available that week. The programme commences at 10:30am and brunch will be provided. Around 20 students studying in Australia will also be present, so this is an excellent opportunity for networking and making new friends.
If you are interested in attending this event, please reply by the 3rd of July. We strongly encourage you to attend.
In view of everyone’s busy timetables, NHG has taken pains to rearrange the dates of attachment for our members. Finalised dates of the NHG attachment itself is from the 14th to the 17th of July. We are expecting reporting details to be released this weekend.
Should you have any queries, please contact Ee Jean through email clearly stating your name and your telephone number in use in Singapore. We wish you the best experience in your attachment.
Yours Sincerely,
The 14th SMSL Committee

This holiday SMSL will once again be organising a wide range of activities to provide an enriching and fun-filled summer for our members.

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)
