Tchoyoson Lim's Biography

Tchoyoson Lim, Senior Consultant, Department of Neuroradiology, National Neuroscience Institute

Prof Lim strives to be a well-rounded physician, aiming for excellence in the “three-legged stool” (or in old-style American football: the “triple threat”) of clinical service, education and research. He believes that a doctor must use pioneering research and observation, built on a foundation of best-practice clinical patient interaction, to impart a vision to all stakeholders (including students, patients, payers, and the public).

The following is his attempt, with what tools and talents he has, to live up to the standards we all aspire to, with the ample help he has received, “standing on the shoulders of giants”*.

Prof Lim received his basic medical degree at the National University of Singapore (NUS) in 1988 and his Master of Medicine (Diagnostic Radiology) in NUS and FRCR (UK) in 1995.

He has published over 100 articles and Academic Research Vice Chair, Singhealth Radiological Sciences, Academic Clinical Program (ACP). He is actively involved in education and research and is regularly invited as a speaker at local and overseas conferences.

Currently, he is a senior consultant in Neuroradiology, National Neuroscience Institute (NNI), Singapore. He is the Immediate Past President, College of Radiologists, Singapore and Adjunct Professor, Duke-NUS Medical School.
