The role of the anaesthesiologist in Singapore has expanded beyond the operating theatre. Education and training in perioperative medicine and anaesthesiology, together with the advancement in technological development and pharmaceutical research, have enabled the anaesthesiologist to optimise delivery of care for patients requiring intervention and surgical procedures.
The ACP Education pillar aims to provide the education and training needs of the ACP in the following areas:
Residency / Medical Officers
Educate and train the Anaesthesiology residents and medical officers by supporting the Programme Director of SingHealth Anaesthesiology Residency Program (SHARP) in all initiatives and curriculum planning.
Medical Students
Educate and train medical students from NUS Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, Duke-NUS Medical School and Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine. Common core content, learning objectives and evaluation processes are applied by the anaesthesiology departments across the ACP when educating the medical students from the three medical schools.
Fellowship
Provide subspecialty fellowship programmes for anaesthesiologists from the region.
Conduct specialised simulation workshops and courses for anaesthesiologists and other professionals in healthcare.
Faculty Development
Facilitate faculty development initiatives throughout the education spectrum so that faculty are equipped with medical education knowledge and teaching skills that make them effective educators.
Mentoring
Organise and collaborate with other mentoring coordinators in order to implement mentoring programmes and promote a mentoring culture in the ACP.
Research in Education
Organise and support all programmes that will promote the culture and practice of education research in ACP.
