- I am currently in the WBA program and completed 2 terms.
- My first rotation was mental health, which made me more confident in managing mental health patients, including inward management and community mental health management.
- My second term was general medicine, which boosted my knowledge of local guidelines and policies, as well as managing most of the common medical cases, such as non-communicable diseases, and especially the endogenous medicine.
- This is my third term as a general surgery RMO, which is helpful in understanding basic clinical concepts of managing general surgical patients.
- I am hoping to complete my WBA program by the end of October 2025 and apply for my general registration.
