Quote from the first batch of NTU Scholars who stated with Eu Yan Sang in January 2011.
Resident Physician Chew Siew Tiang:
I thank Eu Yan Sang for offering me the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Scholarship as it has given me an exceptional opportunity to study abroad in one of the top Chinese Medicine University. With this scholarship, I have realized the dream of making my greatest passion, TCM, my life's pursuit. Not only did it help to ease the financial burdens from the 2 years of study in Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, it also provided an opportunity to venture out and explore into the unknown territories.
To better equip us with the necessary skills of a trained physician, EYS also came up with the residency program for us to learn alongside the senior physicians. This was an incredibly valuable opportunity as I was able to benefit from their depth of TCM knowledge and experience. The senior physicians were especially helpful as they impart their TCM expertise and also their heart to care for patients. They were very effective in helping us transit from our academics to real life application in the society.
Resident Physician Zhang Ruifen:
The Eu Yan Sang TCM Scholarship was launched in 2008 to support and nurture talents in the TCM industry, and I am both honoured and elated to have been amongst its first recipients. With over a hundred years of history, Eu Yan Sang has established itself as a household brand and a forerunner in the TCM field in Singapore. Thus, for me, the opportunity to hone my TCM skills in this organization was something I had always desired.
The 18-month Resident Physician Programme designed for us upon inculcation into the company serves as a great learning platform, bridging our theoretical knowledge of TCM and the real issues faced in clinical practice. In this programme, I have the chance to observe and learn from several reputable senior physicians in the TCM industry, as well as to acquaint myself to the workings of the company. I believe that after these 18 months of experiential learning, I will be equipped with the necessary expertise to establish myself as a worthy TCM physician.
