In recent years, the Ministry of Health’s (MOH) National Outcomes Framework for Medical Graduates has been reviewed to better align with Singapore’s current healthcare landscape and the strategy of the ‘3 Beyonds’ – Beyond Hospital to Community, Beyond Quality to Value and Beyond Healthcare to Health.

The Paediatrics ACP hopes to actively promote a community of practice and drive scholarly activities within the ACP by harmonising the Ministry of Health ‘Education Ladder’ job description and competencies with education roles in the ACP, to encourage more faculty to join the Clinician Educator track.

Guided by MOH’s strategy, the Paediatrics ACP has established the following education initiatives, with an underlying principle to provide Singaporeans with good medical support and care:


Paediatrics ACP Faculty Development (Education) Advance – Standardisation of Assessment

The Education Advance conducts regular faculty standardisation using evidence-based methods to improve inter-rater reliability and accuracy in workplace-based assessment. It also aims to help educators rediscover the motivation that led them to pursue a career in education, enabling them to be renewed and recommitted to their vocation and their students’ success.

     

Neonatal Inhouse Simulation-Based Training and Assessment Programme (NeoSIM)

The Paediatrics ACP conducted regular training sessions of advanced resuscitation/stabilisation simulation programme in neonates. The programme is similar to ACLS (Adults) / APLS (Paediatrics) simulation scenarios, covering both new-born birth resuscitation and post-birth stabilisation. Trainees of this simulation programme are neonatal medical trainees (residents, senior residents, medical officers) and neonatal nursing practitioners.

The primary intent of the programme is to assess the benefit of a neonatal clinical simulation programme, to improve the skills of medical trainees and nursing pracitioners in neonatal resuscitation, including stabilisation and management of acutely-ill neonates.
