Research Resource Center

The Division of Surgery & Surgical Oncology (DSSO) Research Resource Center was recently established to grow and develop research in DSSO. The Resource Center provides information such as grants available, JIF and Thomson Reuters Top 20% Journals, and other information for conducting research.

Mentors are available to provide guidance and support to faculty members in their research such as grant applications, and to nurture them into Clinician Scientists/Innovators/Investigators.

Resources/ information can also be found on DSSO Infopedia page (only accessible via intranet)

These resources will be available to Surgery Academic Clinical Programme (ACP) Faculty as well. Surgery ACP faculty from other institutions (CGH, KKH, SKH) may approach any of the mentors that are in Surgery ACP.
