The National University Health System (NUHS) is one of three public healthcare clusters in Singapore, and an integrated Academic Health System and Regional Health System that delivers value-driven, innovative and sustainable healthcare in Singapore.

We leverage our unique position as an Academic Health System to tap on the wealth of resources residing within the National University of Singapore (NUS). Through collaborations with NUS faculties, we are able to draw upon their academic, research and creative capabilities to develop solutions for existing and emerging health and healthcare needs.

As a Regional Health System, we work in close collaboration with community hospitals, general practitioners, family medicine clinics, nursing homes and other community partners to provide integrated care to the community.

With member institutions under one Academic Health System, NUHS creates synergies as a fully integrated cluster to provide seamless care, develop solutions for Singapore's healthcare challenges and nurture the next generation of healthcare professionals.

The Supportive and Palliative Care Service of the National University Hospital (NUH) offers a consultative service to patients with advanced, progressive illness. Although part of the National University Cancer Institute Singapore (NCIS), it serves the whole hospital, regardless of diagnosis, gender and age of the patient.

As a Resident Physician, you will be part of a multi-disciplinary team led by a Palliative Care Consultant / Senior Consultant in the day-to-day running of the inpatient Palliative consultative service. Additionally, you may occasionally be required to see patients in the clinic (under the supervision of the Palliative consultant). You will be required to provide coverage for week-ends/public holidays as per departmental roster and take on additional duties and responsibilities such as basic teaching/supervision of healthcare students, clinical audits and quality improvement projects. You shall demonstrate good diagnostic and clinical management acumen and perform any other duties as directed by Head of Department or the Chairman Medical Board of the Hospital.

Depending on aptitude, interest and eligibility, the doctor may choose to pursue further training either the GDPM (Graduate Diploma in Palliative Medicine) or AST (Advanced Specialty Training) in Palliative Medicine. Doctors who have completed GDPM and who wish to practice Palliative Medicine, including on part-time basis, are welcome to apply.

**Job Requirements**:

- Basic medical degree from an accredited medical university or medical school
- Postgraduate qualifications in internal medicine such as Master of Medicine (Internal Medicine), MRCP or equivalent
