The Singapore Integrated Programme (SGIP) for Plastic Surgery is a national six-year programme, which is formed by SingHealth, National Healthcare Group (NHG) and National University Health System (NUHS) Plastic Surgery Residency. Residents can apply to join the programme after completing Postgraduate Year 1 (PGY1).
The programme is designed to provide a combination of clinical experience, academic teaching, and opportunities in research. We also have a diverse spectrum of cases, including paediatric plastic surgery. The high volume of craniofacial, trauma, and reconstructive cases will provide a rich and fulfilling source of training material. Our sub-specialties include: congenital and acquired cranio-maxillofacial surgery, craniofacial trauma, head and neck reconstruction, breast and trunk reconstruction, lymphoedema and super-microsurgery.
At the end of the programme, Plastic Surgery residents should be able to employ the knowledge and techniques learnt to enhance function and appearance made abnormal by birth defects, trauma, infection or oncology; and to enhance the patient’s self-esteem by correcting body features displeasing to the patient.
