This workshop focuses on the clinical reasoning process in gastroenterology and hepatology, moving beyond traditional didactic teaching.

Prof Sanjiv Chopra will share his extensive clinical experience through engaging storytelling, practical insights, and real-world anecdotes, highlighting how expert clinicians approach complex cases.

Adjunct Associate Professor Low How Cheng will chair the session, guiding participants through structured clinical reasoning approaches, including problem representation, pattern recognition, and the integration of evidence-based medicine with emerging AI-assisted tools.

Dr Kristie Fan will provide additional perspectives, particularly in the interface between gastroenterology and nutrition, emphasising practical decision-making and multidisciplinary care.

The session will feature interactive, case-based discussions, encouraging active participation from residents. The focus is on developing a pragmatic, stepwise approach to gastrointestinal and hepatology cases, equipping trainees with skills applicable to real-world practice. This promises to be a lively, engaging, and high-yield educational session.

This interactive clinical workshop uses authentic patient cases to explore common and important problems in diabetes and endocrinology encountered in everyday practice. Through case-based discussion, participants will work through the process of clinical reasoning, from recognising key presenting features and formulating differential diagnoses to selecting appropriate investigations and developing management plans.

Cases will span a range of topics including glycaemic management, thyroid disorders, adrenal and pituitary disease and metabolic bone disorders. Emphasis will be placed on applying evidence-based principles, interpreting investigations in clinical context, and recognising pitfalls that commonly lead to diagnostic error.

Designed for resident trainees and medical students, the workshop aims to strengthen diagnostic thinking, promote a structured approach to endocrine problems, and build confidence in translating theoretical knowledge into practical bedside decision-making.

APRPC Masterclass 2026
The NUH Division of Rheumatology and Allergy proudly presents the 4th Asia Pacific Rheumatology Practice Course (APRPC), held in conjunction with the NUHS–BIDMC Conference 2026. The course is designed to deliver a practical, case-based approach to common and high-yield rheumatological conditions.

This Rheumatology Masterclass features two complementary sessions: an AM session on Foundations in Rheumatology and a PM session on Clinical Skills in Rheumatology. Participants may register for either session, or both for a comprehensive learning experience.

AM Session: Foundations in Rheumatology
The morning session focuses on core rheumatology topics relevant to everyday clinical practice. Through concise lectures and interactive small-group breakout sessions, participants will develop structured approaches to connective tissue diseases, vasculitis, and inflammatory arthritis. Realistic clinical cases are used to reinforce clinical reasoning and diagnostic frameworks.

This session is ideal for building a strong foundation in rheumatology, with an emphasis on practical approaches applicable to internal medicine training.

Delivered by the NUH Division of Rheumatology and Allergy, an APLAR Centre of Excellence recognised for high standards in clinical care, research and education.

#Participants who register for and attend both AM and PM workshops under the APRPC Masterclass 2026 will be eligible for a catered lunch from 1:00–2:00 PM at the Tower Block in between the sessions.

Venue: NUHS Tower Block (T01-01)

The workshop designed to equip programme directors with a structured, person-centred approach to the remediation of under-performing resident trainees. It integrates established educational frameworks, namely the ACGME core competencies and the Entrustable Professional Activity (EPA) supervision levels, and translates these principles into practical strategies for diagnosis, assessment, and remediation planning. Emphasis is placed on balancing trainee support with patient safety, regulatory expectations, and programme accountability. By anchoring remediation to clearly defined competencies and supervision standards, participants are encouraged to move beyond ad hoc or punitive responses and towards deliberate, transparent, and defensible remediation processes that are educationally sound and learner-centred.

By the end of the workshop, participants should be able to:

1. Articulate a person-centred philosophy of remediation that acknowledges trainee context, wellbeing, and developmental stage while maintaining professional and patient safety standards.
2. Use EPA supervision levels to contextualise performance gaps in relation to expected entrustment and independence, while relating gaps to the six ACGME core competencies to systematically identify domains of resident under-performance
3. Design assessment strategies targeted at performance deficits and monitor progress during remediation.
4. Construct a structured, time-bound remediation plan with clear goals, supervisory strategies, and outcome criteria.

Sharing Good Judgment: How to Engage in Meaningful Feedback Conversations

Apply an evidence-based framework, Debriefing with Good Judgement, to navigate feedback conversations with greater clarity and curiosity. Explore how a safe learning environment shapes the quality of those conversations. Using standardized cases or your own real-life clinical experiences, practice these models in action, receive structured feedback on your debriefing, and discuss the challenges you face when engaging learners

Facilitators: Dr Chris Smith, Dr Dan Ricotta, Dr Cheryl Chua, Dr Lee Weixian

This workshop provides an introduction to Quality Improvement (QI) and Patient Safety in healthcare. It will feature real-life case studies that demonstrate the successful implementation of improvement initiatives with meaningful impact on clinical practice. Participants will be introduced to the fundamental principles and methodologies of QI, equipping them with practical knowledge and skills to design, implement, and sustain improvement strategies within their own healthcare settings.

PM Session: Clinical Skills in Rheumatology
The afternoon session focuses on hands-on skills and real-world clinical application in rheumatology.

Participants will rotate through a hands-on arthrocentesis workshop and a PACES-style clinical consult with real patients. The arthrocentesis component provides guided practice in joint aspiration and injection techniques using simulation models. In the clinical consult stations, participants will assess patients in a timed format, receiving direct feedback and teaching from consultant rheumatologists.

This session is particularly valuable for internal medicine residents preparing for postgraduate clinical examinations such as MRCP PACES, as well as for clinicians seeking to refine practical skills in rheumatology.
