We are thrilled to introduce our 7th EXCO Committee who will steer us towards greater heights. For this year’s committee instalment, we have streamlined the previous roles of “Outreach Wing Chief,” “Youth Wing Chief,” and “Alumni Wing Chief” into the “Outreach/Alumni/Youth Wing Chief” portfolio. This portfolio will now be shared by two individuals, each undertaking this role.
This coming term, the 7th Committee wishes to revamp our website (ntucmaa.org) and increase the awareness of NTUCMAA. They hope to work closer with the NTU Chinese Medicine Clinic to engage the undergraduates. They also seek to engage with SBS Alumni Association, other allied health alumni associations, as well as to network with BMS graduates who have entered non-TCM fields.
