With an ageing population and as more people of all ages in Singapore take up exercise to stay healthy, demand for sports medicine services and ageing-related musculoskeletal injuries is set to rise.
To equip medical practitioners, including general practitioners, with the knowledge and skills to meet growing demand for medical expertise in these areas, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) and Changi General Hospital (CGH) will launch a new Graduate Diploma in Sports Medicine.
The programme will enable participants to better prevent and treat the growing number of musculoskeletal and sports-related injuries and ailments in a population which is rapidly ageing but staying active longer.
