NUHS Family Medicine Residency Program
NUHS, in collaboration with St Luke’s Hospital, Raffles Medical Group and Frontier Healthcare, is
launching an innovative Family Medicine Residency Program that offers our trainees a diverse
experience in an acute tertiary academic hospital, community hospital and private GP settings.
This program exposes the FM Resident to a public-private mix that
extends the breadth of primary care exposure to firsthand experience
of private GP practice in graduated blocks of learning, a FMC
focused on continuity care and chronic disease management,
specialist ambulatory care experience in NUHS, and rotating
hospital postings.
Leveraging on the strengths of each of the participating
institutions, trainees will experience breadth and depth in their
residency learning and a continuum of care in different
settings.
The Resident will also develop competency in assessing
and meeting the healthcare needs of our citizens from
young to old -- in acute care, continuing care, home care
and end-of-life care.

•
