For Overseas Doctors
NSC Observational Fellowship
Hands-off Observership Programme
The National Skin Centre welcomes foreign doctors to apply for our observership programme, designed to enhance clinical and basic science knowledge in dermatological practice. The programme runs for a maximum of four weeks (28 days).
Programme Overview
Gain valuable exposure to the dynamic field of dermatology through our structured observational attachment programme. Participants will have the opportunity to shadow NSC doctors and observe the management of a broad spectrum of dermatological conditions.
In addition to general dermatology clinics, the programme includes access to subspecialty clinics and teaching sessions. Participants may also join the inpatient dermatology team to review complex medical dermatology cases, providing a comprehensive learning experience.
The programme can be customised to meet your training objectives, subject to the availability of subspecialty clinics.
