Quote:SINGAPORE: Young and aspiring doctors had a glimpse of working as a medical professional, as part of a new training programme by Parkway East Hospital.

The Medical High School programme, which started on Mar 28, will take place over three weekends. A total of 60 students from Dunman High School, Victoria School and Victoria Junior College were selected as participants.

Designed for students to fully immerse themselves in the world of medical professionals, youths aged 15 to 18 take part in various medical emergency scenarios – such as when an appendicitis patient is admitted to the hospital.

Students also take on roles as surgeons and scrub nurses in an actual operating theatre at the hospital. Under the direction of specialists, they are trained to do laparoscopic surgery. They will also undergo a practical test to determine how well and fast they excel in their various roles.

Other healthcare scenarios include working with radiology scanners and learning about the triage system in an emergency department.

Victoria Junior College student Karan Singh Randhawa said: "Along with learning more about how everything works in the hospital and how doctors work together, I have also learnt about the challenges in becoming a doctor. It is definitely not an easy task, having everything going on and helping people out to the best of your ability."

To cater to the high demand for the programme, the hospital plans to offer a second intake in the later half of 2015.

Parkway East Hospital CEO Phua Tien Beng said: "It is very rare you get a chance to come into a working hospital, where you actually experience working in a hospital with real patients.”
