Tribute to Our Alumni Mentors
During the past few years, the alumni have increasingly provided invaluable advice and guidance to our medical students. Here is a glimpse of the impact Duke-NUS alumni have made on our students' learning and their lives.

|
1. Dr Andrew Khor Yu Kheat (MD 2014) / Youyi (MS 2016)
|
|
|
|
Dr Andrew Khor Yu Kheat was very nurturing and caring during my MICU posting. He made sure I had enough hands-on procedures and always made some time for teaching. A role model for me indeed.

2. Dr Wong Zi Yang (MD 2014) / Jia Loon (MS 2018)
|
|
|
|
Dr Wong was an MS4 when I was an MS2 and he helped me and my classmates a lot by bringing us to see interesting clinical cases in the wards and guiding us on how to clerk patients and present our findings. Thanks to Dr Wong, we became much more confident and better prepared for our year-end clinical exam.

3. Dr Zhou Zhi Hong (MD 2013) / Jowell (MS 2019)
|
|
|
|
I would like to thank Dr Zhi Hong for being an approachable alumni, mentor and friend. Dr Zhi Hong's willingness to teach has allowed me to be exposed to many clinical aspects of his specialty. He is truly a role model for myself and other medical students to learn from. Having experienced the support I got from Dr Zhi Hong, I too, will be an alumni coach for juniors in the future!

4. Dr Foo Li Lian (MD 2012) / James (MS 2016)
|
|
|
|
Dr Foo Li Lian mentored me proactively at every opportunity during my Ophthalmology elective in year 2, and also during my Ophthalmology SIP in year 4. I respect her because she went the extra mile by sacrificing part of her weekend to teach Duke-NUS Ophthalmology SIG members eye examination skills at a workshop. She is an alumnus who has inspired me to pay it forward in the future.

5. Dr Momoe Maeda (MD 2014) / Michael (MS 2018)
|
|
|
|
Dr Momoe Maeda was wonderful in providing guidance and encouragement during the neurology clerkship session. She taught me more than just the biomedical side of medicine. She taught us how to work as a part of a medical team along with tips on how to be a more effective clinician.

I would like to show my appreciation for Dr Andrew Chou, a great educator who always provides time for students no matter how busy his schedule may be. Thank you!

7. Dr Fong Sheng (MD 2015) / Ivy (MS 2018)
|
|
|
|
I would like to show our appreciation to our senior Dr Fong Sheng for going the extra miles and spending extra time to give us tutorials in the wards.

8. Dr Tan Pei Ling (MD 2012) / Gwen (MS 2018)
|
|
|
|
She most definitely went the extra mile to teach me and provide opportunities for learning. She also looked out for me all the time, especially when I felt absolutely lost as a new student in the wards. Even now, she will check in to see how I'm doing whenever we run into each other in the hospital.
