Attending the Singapore GI Hepatology Conference 2023 was truly enriching, providing physicians a valuable platform to interact with global leaders in hepatology and gastroenterology. The conference not only showcased cutting-edge diagnostic and therapeutic procedures but also supported young physicians like me from the developing world. I extend my gratitude to the organizers for this opportunity and look forward to the possibility of attending such impactful conferences in the future.

I am truly grateful for the enriching experience at the Inaugural Combined GI-Hep and Singapore Hepatology Conference (SHC) 2023’s Preceptorship Programme. Presenting my case before esteemed experts not only expanded my knowledge in Hepatology but also provided invaluable insights through their constructive feedback. Witnessing and learning from the diverse cases presented by fellow preceptees added another layer of depth to my understanding. Having been selected for presentations since 2017, I look forward to continuing this journey in 2024, as the programme consistently fosters both personal and professional growth”.

Dr. Soe Thiha Maung

Clinical Fellow of Hepatology, Faculty of Medicine, Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, Thailand

The Preceptorship Programme of the Combined GI Hep and Singapore Hepatology Conference 2023 is the most excellent and useful platform for young hepatologists I have ever attended. During this conference, attendees presented many scarce and challenging cases from various parts of Asia, which were thoroughly analyzed by experts in hepatology from all over the world. I gained invaluable knowledge by presenting our case at a global conference, which I believe will be unforgettable throughout my career. I hope that this program will be broadened so that many more young clinicians can participate and acquire more experience for their daily practice.
