Dear Students, What
are your plans after graduation? You may be thinking about entering the
workforce or perhaps even furthering your studies. At
Healthcare Scholarships, we have a vast array of scholarships that are
applicable to students. If you have thought about furthering your studies
upon graduating from NTU, you may wish to apply for our postgraduate
scholarships. The
Healthcare Graduate Studies Award (HGSA) is a postgraduate scholarship
awarded to individuals who are keen to join the public healthcare sector
while demonstrating academic excellence and community spirit. Scholars will
be part of a team of healthcare professionals providing direct care to
patients or working with policy makers or IT systems professionals to improve
the Singapore public healthcare system. You can select from various courses
of study such as Public Health, Business/Data Analytics, Clinical Psychology
and more. We catch up with two of our HGSA
scholars to hear from them about their scholarship journey, where they are
now and words of advice.

During my double degree programme in Biomedical Sciences and Traditional Chinese
Medicine at NTU, I found my interest in healthcare. I was then awarded the
scholarship to pursue a Master’s in Business Analytics at NUS. I am currently part of the data
science team in IHiS which supports population
health initiatives and clinical operations efficiency for our public
healthcare institutions. As a Data Scientist, I am involved in data
processing, data analysis and modelling to solve various kinds of problems
within the healthcare domain. The work is challenging, and contrary to belief,
not mundane as we have to be creative in coming up
with novel solutions to improve patient outcomes. A career in healthtech is extremely rewarding as it gives me a strong
sense of fulfilment and meaning. To all students, do keep an open
mind to new experiences and always be willing to learn something new!❞
❝
I kick-started my healthcare journey with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology
(Honours) in NTU and decided to further my studies by taking up HGSA to
pursue a Master of Psychology (Clinical) at NUS. It was through working at a
family service centre – working with individuals and families with various
mental health/healthcare needs – that sparked my interest in wanting to
support individuals with mental health needs. I am currently working as a
Clinical Psychologist, where I provide psychotherapy and psychological
diagnostic assessments for adolescents and young adults. As a scholar, I was given the
opportunity to attend several training courses to fine tune my competencies
as a clinical psychologist and had the chance to build strong networks with
fellow healthcare scholars. To aspiring scholars who are keen
to join me in a fulfilling career in public health: I encourage you to keep
an open mind and try to gain as much relevant ground experience in your
respective disciplines during your undergraduate and initial working years. I
look forward to welcoming you to the healthcare family! 😊❞ ----- If you are interested in Making a
