What does it really take to become a great surgeon – without losing sight of what matters? In the first edition of Letters to a Young Surgeon, a video series where our senior surgeons share candid advice and hard-earned wisdom for those just starting out, we sit down with our CEO, Assoc Prof Hiang Khoon Tan for an honest conversation about the journey from a young surgeon to where he stands today. From an unexpected path into medicine to navigating the pressures of a demanding career, he shares what kept him grounded, what drove his growth, and how he learned to go the distance. 🎙️ 3 minutes. A lifetime of wisdom.
