Testimonial from our Anaesthesiology Resident

Dr Teo Ting Zhang

Dr Teo Ting Zhang, NUHS Anaesthesiology Residency Programme, 2020 Cohort

"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. "
