Singapore Integrated Programme for Neurosurgery (SG IP Neurosurgery)

Neurosurgery is a highly specialised field that focuses on the surgical management of conditions affecting the brain, spine, spinal cord, peripheral nerves, and their supporting vascular and skeletal structures. It is a dynamic discipline that combines precision, innovation, and compassion to improve the lives of patients with complex neurological disorders.

The SGIP for Neurosurgery offers a six-year training programme after completion of the internship or Postgraduate Year 1 (PGY1).  The strength of the Singapore Integrated Programme (SGIP) for Neurosurgery lies in our diverse clinical material and a strong subspecialty focus. The educational programme, combined with a range of clinical, technical, didactic and scientific training, provides a well-rounded experience for each Resident. The programme also has a strong commitment to clinical care, education and research, which aims to groom the future generation of Neurosurgeons to become prominent Clinician Educators and Clinician Scientists.

You will be exposed to a wide spectrum of neurosurgical disorders ranging from major Adult to Paediatric Neurosurgery conditions. The main training centres are National Neuroscience Institute (NNI) and National University Hospital (NUH). Our unique Residency programme provides rotations through different training institutions such as Singapore General Hospital (SGH), Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH), KK Women's and Children's Hospital (KKH), National University Hospital (NUH) and Ng Teng Fong General Hospital (NTFGH). Rotations through these hospitals will provide each Resident with a complete, well-rounded experience in General Neurosurgery as well as in the specific subspecialty fields such as Neuro-Oncology, Skull Base Surgery Neurovascular Surgery, Spine Surgery, and Paediatric Neurosurgery.

Our goal is to produce versatile and patient-centric Neurosurgeons who are well-prepared to meet the demands of modern neurosurgical practice. If you are highly motivated, responsible and passionate about learning and making a difference, the path of Neurosurgery awaits you.
