GENERAL SURGERY

The General Surgery rotation introduces you to a variety of surgical fields. Through structured teaching and academic activities, the rotation exposes you to the basics of surgical care in general surgery, surgical critical care, hepatobiliary surgery, colorectal surgery, trauma surgery, breast and endocrine surgery, upper gastrointestinal and bariatric surgery, vascular surgery, laparoscopic and endoscopic surgery and surgical oncology. The curriculum is structured to give a solid foundation that forms the core of good surgical training.

ORTHOPAEDIC SURGERY

During this rotation, you will experience the multidisciplinary nature of orthopaedic surgical care. You will be given progressive responsibility for the care of patients under the supervision of faculty members, with special emphasis placed on the understanding of the inter-related sub-facets of orthopaedic care.

Residents also attain a good grounding in the areas of geriatric medicine, rehabilitation, physiotherapy and hand therapy, which are crucial elements of orthopaedic training.

This comprehensive year will fulfil both the post-graduate year one (PGY1) licensing requirements set by the Singapore Medical Council and ACGME-I.

GENERAL MEDICINE

The Departments of General Medicine in TTSH and KTPH have retained their traditional strength in broad-based clinical medicine while implementing innovative changes. This enables us to provide training in a wide variety of undifferentiated case presentations.

The emphasis of this rotation is the holistic and comprehensive management of patients. Here, you will gain the ability to obtain information, arrive at the correct diagnosis in a timely manner and institute appropriate management plans.

Our aim is to prepare young doctors for future residency programs by providing a structured and broad-based education in General Medicine, Surgery and Orthopaedics. Electives further provide opportunities for the resident to explore other medical and surgical specialities of interest.
