Education

Learning, and teaching.

I had to look beyond the usual path to learn and carve out a career of my own. Now I try to make the path a little easier for all who come after me.

An unusual path

Building the curriculum I never had.

I have always believed that the medicine of the future requires a strong, competent understanding of technology and data. And so in 2018, I wrote and pitched to the dean a curriculum to give medical students basic literacy in healthcare informatics. The following year, I became an adjunct assistant professor at the National University of Singapore, and the curriculum has since become a fixed part of training for all medical students at the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine.

While I'm no longer involved in academia, I continue to sit on panels, boards and advisory committees for the industry.
