The Division of Advanced Internal Medicine comprises general internists who aim to provide comprehensive care for the person as a whole. Our specialists undergo broad training in multiple disciplines, including cardiology, endocrinology, neurology, haematology, gastroenterology, nephrology, respiratory medicine, rheumatology, infectious diseases and others. This enables us to provide holistic and coordinated care for adult patients with multiple medical conditions, reducing the need for them to see multiple subspecialists.
We are recognised by the Ministry of Health’s Specialists Accreditation Board, and contribute to undergraduate and postgraduate training in Advanced Internal Medicine.
