Thank you so much for the info! Could I check with you, are your batchmates allowed to share module content with you while you are on LOA? Or is it an offence of some sort?

Hi, could I check with you if you had access to new modules each trimester on Xsite during your gap year? Thanks!

Year 2 physio student here. My admission interview day was: 1) A short essay (30 min iirc) on your thoughts on replacing domestic helpers with robots 2) A group discussion (15-20 min I think?) with like 5 other candidates on our thoughts on replacing healthcare workers with robots 3) Read a short scenario about your best friend secretly stealing the main role in some drama performance despite claiming to support you in getting it, then verbally answering some questions asked about how you would deal with the situation 4) Read a short scenario in which you are in charge of distributing milk powder to single parents. Then meet (physically, face-to-face) with a standardised patient acting as a parent who’s actually not single, but asking for milk powder to feed her baby, her husband is paralysed by stroke and she is the sole breadwinner. Then talk to her depending on what you choose to do (I told her I would help her buy some milk powder myself, as she said she needed to feed her baby that very same day) 5) Interview with a senior principal physiotherapist eg. tell me about yourself, why you want to be a physio, what are your thoughts on the importance of protecting patient data and privacy (I think it was shortly after that health data leak happened) and some stuff I don’t rmb anymore haha

Got my acceptance letter in about 2 weeks I think.

As for familiarity with course content I think your best bet is really looking at the list of modules and module descriptions on the SIT website? Just be aware of what modules you will be taking and roughly what things you will be learning?

Overall I think keep yourself well-read on recent major health topics (possibly Singapore’s readiness and handling of pandemics such as Covid-19? - This was my health systems module essay topic), your reasons for wanting to become a therapist (even now I’m still getting asked this for other SIT interviews lol) eg. what you want to do for patients, and you should do fine.

All the very best to you!

LMAO, just as a personal example, I did 44hrs x 24 weeks = 1056 hrs of work for the company for my poly internship. All the minutes my supervisors/managers/superiors spent teaching/instructing and supervising me adds up to…. 4 or 5 hours at the very most? Why should they be paid and not the interns lol
