NUS e-Open House 2021
Despite the Open House being held virtually again this year due to COVID-19 safety measures, we held 2 successful sessions introducing the Pharmaceutical Science and Pharmacy programmes to our prospective students. This is going to be the inaugural curriculum of the Pharmaceutical Science programme being offered under the College of Humanities and Sciences (CHS).

The Pharmacy e-Open House was successfully carried out on 5 March 2021 with close to 120 participants. Prof Christina Chai welcomed the participants and the Chief Pharmacist A/Prof Camilla Wong enlightened the audience with an engaging talk entitled “Zooming in and out of the Singapore Healthcare System”. Prof Paul Gallagher and Dr Han Zhe gave a glimpse of how the integrated BPharm programme, that was newly minted in last year, prepares future pharmacists for the innovative new world of healthcare. A/Prof Doreen Tan awed the audience by her candid sharing of her experiences being a clinical pharmacist in Singapore. Ms Joyce Lim, our alumna from Johnson and Johnson, shared about the versatility of the Pharmacy degree with myriad roles in the pharmaceutical industry. The event ended with a lively Q&A session with the invited speakers, staff, alumni and students.
