The faculty members are not only highly skilled and experienced but also incredibly passionate about their roles as mentors and educators. Their commitment to nurturing the next generation of family physicians is evident in every interaction, as they provide unwavering support, guidance, and encouragement.

The curriculum is comprehensive and well-structured. It covers a wide range of medical specialties and ensures a solid foundation in primary care. The rotations in various clinical settings expose us to diverse patient populations, allowing us to develop a well-rounded understanding of the challenges and nuances of family medicine. The program also emphasizes the importance of evidence-based practice, research, and continuous learning, equipping us with the tools to stay updated with the latest advancements in healthcare.

“T
he NHG Family Medicine residency training program is robust and adaptive to ensure we get both depth and breadth of exposure in primary and tertiary healthcare settings. However, the real asset of the residency is in its people. This is a program worth going through because we are closely mentored by tutors and seniors who genuinely care about training us to become competent yet empathetic family physicians to care for a population worth serving and giving our best for."

sidency program to be immensely rewarding and enjoyable so far. Not only does it emphasise on rigorous and in-depth understanding of many varied conditions, there is also strong emphasis on putting patient's care and comfort first. Furthermore, the faculty's supportive and approachable nature, alongside a cohort of like-minded residents passionate about collaborative learning, significantly enriches my experience. I am constantly inspired by everyone's genuine intention to help, which provides reassurance through the most challenging days."
