The mission of the NUHS Orthopaedic Surgery Residency Programme is to provide our residents with the knowledge and skills, both clinical and surgical, in all areas of orthopaedic surgery necessary to produce orthopaedic surgeons who are technically competent, able to provide care of the highest quality to all orthopaedic patients presenting to NUHS, and knowledgeable of the literature in the field of orthopaedic surgery by the completion of the training programme.
The goal of the programme is to produce orthopaedic surgeons who are not only technically competent but compassionate, knowledgeable of the literature in the field of orthopaedic surgery, demonstrating the highest ethical standards, keen to seek clinical & basic science solutions in the interest of providing the highest quality holistic care to their patients and striving to become leaders in the field.
This mission & goal will be accomplished via a rigorous and comprehensive programme which will ensure a more than adequate clinical exposure, the opportunity to perform surgical procedures under the supervision & guidance of master orthopaedic surgeons as well as an opportunity to pursue scholarly activities in research and make contributions to the field of orthopaedic knowledge.

"The NUHS Orthopaedic Surgery Residency is a very strong and established residency programme. I chose this programme not only for its excellent teaching, but more importantly for its close-knit community amongst the residents and faculty.
Clinical training here is second to none, with a solid curriculum that fosters learning and growth in a supportive and encouraging atmosphere. The programme is structured such that residents at all levels have great hands-on experience, with wonderful exposure to a variety of surgical cases with differing complexities. Strong emphasis is also placed on the TRICEP values (Teamwork, Respect, Integrity, Compassion, Excellence, Patient-Centredness), to ensure that each resident has a holistic and comprehensive training.
