Due to the Swine Flu outbreak that is affecting various parts of the world, Prof. Satku has to remain in
Singapore to oversee the preparation to deal with this new threat.

Prof. Satku expresses his regret that he has to defer this engagement.

We seek your understanding on this matter and we will be in touch with you on
a new date for this talk.  Please take care of yourself and stay alert to
the latest development of the Swine Flu situation.

To all final years and medical students!

Please keep your 6th/7th June free as MOH Holdings will be coming to melbourne for their annual recruitment drive for houseman as well as to provide more information about working in Singapore.  This is also a good opportunity for medical students to meet up with doctors who are coming from Singapore.

For the final years who are keen on going back to Singapore to work as a houseman and are wondering how to go about with your application, the details are as follows:

1) MOHH will be setting up a registration portal on their website for those who would like to register their attendance for interviews to indicate which state, session and interviews wanted.
