IN THIS ISSUE
For some, housemanship days may have long gone by, but it may be a current reality or journey yet to begin for others. The October issue of SMA News either takes you for a walk down memory lane or prepares you for the days ahead. In the Feature, Drs Foo Gen Lin, Anantham Devanand, Lee Pheng Soon and Ivan Low share fond memories of their days as house officers. Take a glimpse into housemanship experiences throughout the decades, and see what has changed and what hasn’t. Other articles in this issue include Dr Desmond Wai’s piece on what to consider when joining a private group practice, and Dr Wong Sin Yew and Dr Jean Sim’s article on proper prevention and control of infection in your clinics. Also, check out A/Prof Cuthbert Teo’s pick of some ICD codes with potentially spooky twists, just in time for the Halloween season (illustrations courtesy of Dr Justinian Zai)!
