Congratulations to Associate Professor Gerald Koh on receiving the Outstanding Educator Award 2016 at the University Awards on 29 April 2016! The University Awards represent the highest tribute to excellence in educating and nurturing talent, advancing knowledge and fostering innovation, and contributing to country and society.
The Outstanding Educator Award is the highest University-level award for teaching excellence which recognises faculty who have excelled in engaging and inspiring students in their knowledge discovery. As Academic Advisor to students involved in the Neighbourhood Health Service project, and having pioneered a university-wide module to equip students with knowledge on health, social services and policies for the elderly, A/Prof Koh is well-known for his passion in issues facing the elderly and less fortunate. A/Prof Koh is also Director for Undergraduate Medical Education and leads the School’s Continuing Professional Education programme to support the national strategy for lifelong learning.
“Teaching is not only a privilege and an honour but also a great responsibility. The success of a teacher pivots on the success of his students and this in turn moulds the future of nations,” says A/Prof Koh.
Congratulations once again on this distinguished honour A/Prof Koh, and we hope you continue to inspire batches of future healthcare professionals!
