The Singapore Medical Society of Victoria (SMSV), in collaboration with the National Skin Centre, organised a series of hospital attachments to be held over the summer vacation from the 24 November 2008 to 16 January 2009. Selected members of SMSV spent 2 full weeks attached to various departments of NSC, including the Communicable Disease Centre (CDC) and the Department of STI Control (DSC) of Singapore.

During the attachments, medical students were exposed to the workings of the hospitals with sit-ins in consultation rooms and the treatment rooms. They also visited wards in the CDC and saw procedures such as biopsy being done. Few lucky ones were even allowed to assist and or perform some minor procedures!
