I made a career switch. Now, I find so much meaning and purpose in emergency and trauma nursing. SHSS pushed
me to think critically and stretched my capabilities holistically through the Capstone programme, overseas clinical
attachment and international debate competitions. The diploma-plus programme in literature review served as a strong
foundation for my dissertation in university. Having lecturers who believed in my dreams has made all the difference."

This course did more than just equip me with knowledge and skills. It provided me with a real learning experience.
Twice a year, my group would visit Bintan, Indonesia, and provide dental services such as scaling, polishing and
fillings for a group of children and teenagers living in rural areas. The course was challenging but thanks to the
encouragement and support of my lecturers, I was able to relate well to my young patients and provide them with
