We welcome Clin Assoc Prof Anshu Arundhati, who has taken over the Deputy Medical Director, Education and Academic Vice-Chair, Education role from Prof Ian Yeo on 1 March 2022, who had helmed the position for the past 12 years.

Clin Assoc Prof Arundhati was appointed as Core Faculty Member since 2014, which she has been involved in a whole range of activities in teaching Residents in their residency journey, across clinics and operating theatres (OT). She is also a cataract surgery trainer for the Residents for over a decade. As Clin Assoc Prof Arundhati became more senior, she held leadership roles. She became the Deputy Fellowship Director in 2016 and then Fellowship Director in 2018. In 2018, she took on a bigger role in Education and was appointed the Deputy Vice Chair of Education. After helming the position as Deputy Chair of Education for 4 years, Clin Assoc Prof Arundhati is now appointed as Vice Chair of Education on 1 March 2022 and re-designated as Deputy Chief Executive Officer (DCEO) of Education on 1 April 2022. Let’s hear her hopes and aspirations for the Training and Education at SNEC!

We are also pleased to welcome Assoc Prof Shamira Perera as our newly-minted Programme Director of Ophthalmology Residency, who has taken over from Dr Livia Teo from 1 April 2022. He has been an integral part of our residency programme as a pioneer member of our Core Faculty team since 1 July 2011. A glaucoma specialist by training, he is also a great clinician and a role model to our young residents. He is also very much into clinical innovations, with research interest in medical technology for glaucoma and cataract, surgical devices and imaging.
