    An article on how PRC doctors can adapt to the Singapore healthcare system, with a special focus on TTSH PRC doctor, Dr Liu Bu. There were also 2 other short features from KKH and SGH. Besides interviewing Dr Liu Bu, Medical Officer from TTSH's Department of General Medicine, Ms Tan Chew Wah, Deputy Director of Medical education Office and A/Prof Tham Kum Ying, Asst Chairman Medical Board (Education) were also interviewed. Article mentioned that Dr Liu has been in Singapore for less than half a year and speaks English like a local. Ms Tan Chew Wah who assisted Dr Liu in getting used to the healthcare system said many of her patients did not even realise she is from China. That includes Dr Liu's 80-year-old patient, Mr Tan Shi Hua who did know Dr Liu is from China even though he has met her 3 times. Dr Liu graduated from Beijing University and has worked at a local hospital for 2 years before comiing to Singapore. A/Prof Tham Kum Ying said that there are no problems with the medical knowledge of the graduates from China. They would need to get used to 3 main differences including getting used to communicating in English, the medication and prescription used locally and local work processes. In addition, they will have to be aware of the medisave policies in Singapore as this is very important to the subsidised patients.
