Dr Chong Xue Ling is a Swiss fellowship-trained orthopaedic surgeon accredited by the Ministry of Health. She is the only one in Singapore who has received dual fellowship training in foot and ankle as well as shoulder and elbow surgery.
Upon graduating from National University of Singapore, she completed residency training and examinations to receive Master of Medicine in Orthopaedic Surgery, before attaining Fellowship at the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh. She completed her first fellowship at the internationally recognised Centre Assal, La Colline in Geneva, Switzerland. She also trained in Hospital Quirónsalud Barcelona under the tutelage of one of the pioneers who specialises in minimally invasive foot and ankle surgery.
She is a member of the European Group for the Study and Research of Minimally Invasive Surgery of the Foot and Ankle. For shoulder and elbow surgery, she completed her fellowship at La Tour Hospital, an accredited Swiss Olympic Medical Centre and learnt innovative techniques in arthroplasty for earlier return to activity as well as the stabilising techniques, developed to have greater strength without extensive fixation.
She believes strongly in providing patient care that prioritises compassion as much as competence. During her time in Switzerland, she learnt about the work done by the United Nations and the International Committee of the Red Cross, which inspired her to explore other ways to contribute. She has and continues to organise humanitarian aid to support the work of surgeons in conflict zones.
Through active involvement in research, she aims to constantly improve existing treatment in the pursuit of quality care for her patients. She regularly presents in conferences and has had her work published in international peer reviewed journals and books.
