The RADSC ACP established the Tan Kim Ping Academic Fund in 2018 to honour Dr Tan Kim Ping’s vision, dedication and leadership in shaping the Radiological Sciences in Singapore.
During Dr Tan’s illustrious medical career, which included headship at the Department of Diagnostic Radiology in SGH from 1991 to 2002, he mentored numerous radiologists, and many of them currently hold leadership positions in the various healthcare institutions. He also laid the foundation of a strong academic Radiology service by encouraging and facilitating research and education among Radiologists.
The Fund aims to provide world-class patient care, train the best and brightest radiologists to serve future generations, and to discover new imaging technologies and procedures to improve patient outcomes.
