Dr. Wang Ming is fellowship-trained in Harvard Medical School and currently serves as an Adjunct Assistant Professor in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, NUS. He is also the Associate Program Director of the Orthopaedic Residency Program at NUH.
Dr. Wang earned his Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree from Duke-NUS Graduate Medical School. He completed his orthopaedic training and was admitted as a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh (FRCSEd Orth).
Dr. Wang’s sports medicine subspecialty training was completed through the Harvard Medical School Sports Medicine Fellowship Program, accredited by the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine (AOSSM) and the Arthroscopy Association of North America (AANA). He held a Massachusetts medical license from the Board of Registration in Medicine (BORIM) and received mentorship from world-renowned surgeons at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Massachusetts General Hospital, both of which are Harvard Medical School teaching hospitals. During his fellowship, Dr. Wang actively taught medical students and residents within Harvard Medical School and the Harvard Combined Orthopaedic Residency Program. He also provided medical coverage for professional sports teams and treated professional athletes, including those from the NFL's New England Patriots, NCAA Division One Northeastern Basketball Team, and Boston Marathon. Additionally, he worked with the team physicians for the Boston Celtics and Boston Red Sox.
Dr. Wang's clinical interests focus on arthroscopic and minimally invasive surgeries of the shoulder, elbow, hip, and knee. He has a particular interest in knee ligament surgeries, such as Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction, Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) reconstruction, multi-ligamentous reconstruction, knee meniscus repair and preservation, cartilage repair and regeneration, joint preservation surgery, knee replacement (including patellofemoral replacement), hip labral repair, shoulder instabilities, rotator cuff repair, and shoulder replacement.
Dr. Wang is actively involved in bone and cartilage regeneration research at the NUS. He has published extensively in areas such as Tissue Engineering and Arthroscopy, particularly on the role of growth factors in bone and cartilage regeneration. He believes that joint-preserving surgery, especially when performed in a minimally invasive manner, has the potential to save joints and delay the need for joint replacement surgery.
Dr. Wang is actively engaged with the international and American sports medicine communities, staying updated with the latest advancements and technologies in this rapidly evolving field. Through these connections, he brings cutting-edge surgical techniques and implants to treat patients in Singapore.
In his spare time, Dr. Wang enjoys participating in sports such as yoga, skiing, scuba diving, and Taekwondo.
