He added: “Today… we have expanded the scope of this event to also recognise and celebrate faculty with primary appointments at Duke-NUS and in this regard, I am delighted that we will be recognising newly appointed and recently promoted Adjunct Associate Professors in the Duke-NUS Office of Innovation and Entrepreneurship, alongside our clinical faculty. Going forward, we plan to extend these recognitions even further so we can appreciate and celebrate our faculty across the board.”
Following Prof Coffman’s welcome remarks, the newly appointed and promoted senior faculty were called forward to receive their plaques.
“I am thankful for the opportunity given to me not only by the School, but also by my department to pursue my academic endeavours—I really enjoy teaching the medical students and seeing the next generation of doctors come through,” said newly promoted Clinical Associate Professor Leow Wei Qiang from the SingHealth Duke-NUS Pathology Academic Clinical Programme.
