My Palliative Medicine journey has been challenging – physically, emotionally and spiritually – yet this struggle is also what has made it something all the more worth pursuing. It is an incredible privilege to be by our patients' sides during the most vulnerable point in their lives, and to hopefully be able to alleviate some of their pain, fear and trepidation and provide some comfort in a time of despair.

Years after completing my training in family medicine, I now find myself once again in training—this time, in palliative medicine. Nearly a year into the program, the experience has been both humbling and profoundly enriching. There is never a dull moment; each patient and their family brings a unique story, filled with meaning and emotion. Providing comfort—in every sense of the word—is often challenging, as the pain endured by those who are suffering or dying, and by those who love them, reaches far beyond the physical. There is still so much more to learn from my patients.

Encountering patients and families as they journey through what is often the hardest and most vulnerable season of their lives, I am humbled to be a witness to many stories of resilience, courage, sacrifice and love. There is so much to learn from them, and I find myself growing not just as a clinician but as a person, and gaining so much more than I am capable of giving back to them. This is not just my work, but a calling and vocation that reminds me daily of the sacredness of being human.

“I feel incredibly privileged to have the opportunity to witness and journey alongside patients and their loved ones during the most vulnerable moments of their lives. The holistic approach of Palliative Medicine allows me to focus beyond physical symptoms and look into the emotional, social & spiritual needs of both patients & their families. Building meaningful connections by offering support that extends beyond medical treatment is incredibly fulfilling and everyday is a growing experience.”

"Being in palliative medicine reminds me that every person's story matters, and through our presence as a bridge of compassion, we aim to make each moment meaningful and alleviate suffering with empathy and grace. The reflective nature of palliative medicine offers opportunities for growth, self-discovery and renewed dedication to providing compassionate care."
Dr Ong Chin Ee
"Before I entered Palliative Medicine, I had the impression that it would remind us of how little we as physicians can do. On the contrary, it made me realize how much we actually can do. It is where we humble ourselves in the face of death, and with the skills and responsibilities placed upon us, journey with patients through their remaining years. It is where we learn lessons and what it means to truly advocate for them. It is where the patients are, our teachers instead. Fast forward 10 years from my very first encounter with Palliative Medicine, I am still very much learning. Nothing defines medicine and fulfilment more than this."
