Neurology/Sleep Teaching
Dr Lim Li Ling coordinates the Sleep Medicine Continuing Medical Education (CME) programme for the Singapore General Hospital Sleep Disorders Unit and the Singapore Sleep Society (SSS). These regular teaching sessions featuring local, regional and international speakers are aimed at healthcare professionals (medical students, junior doctors in training, registrars in subspecialty training, GPs and specialists in related fields of Neurology, Psychiatry, ENT, Dental Surgery, Respiratory Medicine and Psychology) and the general public.
Dr Lim was the Course Director of the first regional Polysomnography & Sleep Medicine Course in September 2005, jointly organized by the Singapore Sleep Society, SingHealth & the National Neuroscience Institute. This event was a critical success, being sold out & oversubscribed, attracting delegates from 11 countries, including Bangladesh, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, South Korea, Sri Lanka and Thailand.
Dr Lim has taught fellows from Thailand, Malaysia, India and the Philippines. Locally she trains budding Neurologists & Sleep Physicians, and has mentored secondary school students in Sleep research projects from Nanyang Girls High School, Raffles Girls School and Methodist Girls School.
She is a clinical teacher for the Clinical Skills Foundation Course for medical students from the National University of Singapore. She has been a tutor and examiner for the Singapore Masters of Nursing Programme.
Dr Lim has been invited to conduct workshops and teach Sleep Medicine in the United States, Thailand, Dubai, India and Taiwan in a variety of forums. She also continues to teach Electrodiagnostic Medicine (Nerve Conduction Studies or NCS and Electromyography or EMG) at the Singapore General Hospital and has taught in regional EMG Workshops (National Neuroscience Institute Electrodiagnosis Workshop).
