Welcome to the 15th edition of the Singapore Hyperbaric and Underwater Medicine Course (SHUMEC), jointly organized by the Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN) and Singapore General Hospital (SGH).

This one-week course combines didactic lectures, site visits to the SGH Hyperbaric Diving Medicine Centre (HDMC) and Navanl Hyperbaric Centre.

The close collaboration between the RSN and SGH brings together RSN's experience in Diving Medicine and SGH's expertise in Hyperbaric Medicine to advance and broaden the clinical application in Underwater Medicine.

Upon completion of SHUMEC, participants practicing in Singapore may apply to be registered as a Designated Workplace Doctor (Compressed Air Works) with Ministry ot Manpower (MOM).

The SHUMEC curriculum has been designed and accredited according to the United Kingdom Diving Medicine Advisory COuncil (DMAC) Level 1 requirements and is supported by a strong teaching faculty from the RSN, SGH as well as local experts in the field.

We are looking forward to seeing you in Singapore!
