Bio
My affiliation with the O&G dates back to 1972 after I graduated from the University of Singapore Faculty of Medicine and started my housemanship in KK Women's and Children's Hospital. In 1998, I became an Obstetrician & Gynaecologist after I obtained my postgraduate degrees, MMed (O&G) and MRCOG (UK). In 1982, as a Senior Registrar, I was awarded a HMDP Fellowship to Japan to undergo training in Gynae Cancer Surgery. On my return, I continued to perform complex gynae and gynaeoncological surgery and in 2006, I was appointed Head and Consultant in the Department of Gynaecological Oncology. Up to the time when I became a Senior Consultant 25 years ago and thereafter, I have been mentor and teacher to many generations of O&G trainees, specialists and Fellows from overseas.
My commitment in teaching and undergraduates started in 1987 and since then, I have been teaching and examining medical students from Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine and later on to 2 other medical schools, Duke-NUS Medical School and Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine. Since 2011, I have been a Clinical Core Faculty, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, SingHealth Residency Programme, Examiner in the Joint MMed (O&G) MRCOG Part II Oral Assessment Examinations and Examiner for Exit Exam in O&G, by Academy of Medicine, Joint Committee in Specialist training. I participated in the Department’s research projects and clinical trials and sat in various hospital’s and MOH committees. I attended conferences both local and overseas to keep myself updated of the latest advances in my speciality.
I like to work in an institutional environment where there is team work, multidisciplinary collaboration and where there are ample opportunities to keep abreast of the latest state of art so that we can deliver the safest and optimum care to our patients.
