ID Training at NUH
Why would one do ID? (over other medical specialties)
• We mostly cure patients
• Diverse opportunities from bedside to international public health
• We are not organ specific and therefore maintain general skills
• We make good detectives
• Less vulnerable after hours as non-proceduralists
• Good flexibility for more or less work (including part time)
