This is the final session of SingHealth Career Series for Junior Doctors where the career tracks of Anaesthesia, Internal Medicine, Diagnostic Radiology and O&G within SingHealth were covered.

"When there is total chaos, the anaesthetists reign"  A/Prof Ong Biauw Chi shared the scope, qualities,  up and down sides (and frustrations) of being anaesthetists.   Her final words for them are to consider the bread and butter of each speciality and not rush to make decisions and ultimately to pursue something that they must be passionate about. 

There are 15 subspecialities in Internal Medicine and each subspecialty is varied in pace and hands on opportunities.   Being 'intellectually satisfying' to specialize, Prof Fock Kwong Ming also highlighed a few of the attributes of a good clinician eg being an astute observer, have hands of a pianist, have wisdom to put all data together and, most importantly, have hearts of gold.        

Prof Wilfred Peh inspired the doctors to consider Diagnostic Radiology to pursue as a specialty through the sharing of his personal experience. 

A/Prof George Yeo charted the journey of O&G and highlighted the clinical excellence of the specialty within SingHealth. 
"Obstetrics and gynaecology have a singular story to a successful growth in Singapore.   We could indeed be proud of what we have done so far.......     We can all be very happy with what we have achieved and allow this not to make us complacent but give us further fillip to strive harded to do better in our scholarship and in our advancement."    Speech by Dr Benjamin Henry Sheares, President of the Republic of Singapore (1971 - 1981) also, a specialist in O & G.

The session gave the doctors a better description of the journey ahead for these specialities.
