Guest-of-Honour, Mrs Tan Ching Yee, giving the opening address.
In her address, Mrs Tan remarked that the recent formation of the Chapter of Family Medicine Physicians was timely to assist with the growing needs of the greying population in Singapore. She added that the Ministry of Health (MOH) values the holistic care provided by the family physicians whose practice is defined by its breadth and patient-centricity.
Mrs Tan also highlighted on the important role which the Academy played in postgraduate training and education, and recorded her appreciation on the continual partnership between the Academy and MOH in the training of doctors.
A total of 81 Fellows were formally admitted into the Academy that afternoon. Dr Goh Soo Chye Paul from the Chapter of Family Medicine Physicians led his fellow inductees for the pledge-taking.
The Induction Comitia also witnessed the graduation of twelve trainees who have successfully completed their diplomas under the Staff Registrar Scheme. They were graduates from the Diploma in Emergency Medicine, Diploma in Geriatric Medicine in Hospital and ILTC (Intermediate and Long Term Care), Diploma in Internal Medicine (with Focus on Hospital Medicine) and Diploma in Neurosurgery.
