Information regarding the NHG-AHPL residency program can be found via the symposium handbook, online, and from various powerpoint presentations (at TTSH) on the event day itself. Participants are advised to utilize all these avenues of information first before interacting with the faculty to avoid asking frequently asked questions and to make the most out of their time with them.

Unfortunately, NHG-AHPL has limited capacity and is able to accomodate 250 students maximum for its career symposium. Therefore, we encourage only final year medical students from both YLLSoM and Duke-NUS GMS to register. Priority will be given to such students, on a first come first served basis.

Another session for medical students from other years is currently in the pipeline. More details will be released as soon as we can.

Registration for the NHG-AHPL career symposium is now open! Please note that registration is limited to final year students.
