The NUHS Anaesthesiology Residency Programme strives for excellence in residency training and aims to enable each resident to achieve his or her highest potential. The cornerstone of our academic mission is the training of high quality and well-rounded specialists in anaesthesia, critical care and pain medicine.
The mission of our programme is the dedicated education of our residents in all areas of knowledge, clinical, technical skills and professional attitudes related to anaesthesia.
Our graduates receive the Master of Medicine (MMed), Anaesthesia Singapore and upon exit, they will be able to practice anaesthesiology independently. In addition to clinical skills, our five-year programme emphasises interpersonal skills, effective communication, professionalism, leadership in health services delivery, prudent financial resource stewardship, quality improvement programmes and the development of teaching skills.

"The NUHS Anaesthesiology Residency Programme is truly an incredible place to be trained. My experience thus far has greatly exceeded my expectations every step of the way in my residency journey. The programme offers trainees an opportunity to be exposed to all the essential subspecialties and a myriad of cases. This is instrumental in allowing trainees to be familiar and comfortable in managing these cases and building confidence in our capabilities.
A key tenet of the residency programme is a strong emphasis on education. I believe there is no better way to learn than doing a case under the appropriate guidance. The faculty, seniors, and even residents have developed a teaching culture where a safe space is provided for trainees to formulate and implement their management plans without compromising patient safety. The department also spares no effort for post graduate examinations which are all planned out in a structured fashion. Besides the varied day-to-day clinical work, the programme promotes a strong research and quality improvement culture. Outside of work, the department encourages residents to pursue their healthy interests as part of our holistic development.
Looking back at my journey thus far, I have no qualms about strongly recommending the NUHS Anaesthesiology Residency Programme to anyone interested in pursuing a career in Anaesthesia. "
