Nicholas Loh, BClinSc (Flin.), ATCL is a medical student at the NUS Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, and a researcher with the COIN (Comprehensive Ocular Imaging Network) Consortium.
In 2018, Nic commenced the BClinSc/MD programme at Flinders. Later that year, he was Winner of the Undergraduate Academic Excellence category of the SA International Student Awards. He was a two-time Chancellor’s Lister, and in 2020 was awarded the Horizon Platinum Award with Leadership Specialisation, the highest honour in the Horizon Award series.
Nic co-authored a review article on COVID-19 and has also published multiple articles in SMA News, The Quadriceps, and Placebo. In his service to the student body, Nic was International Students Officer of the University Student Council; Treasurer of SMSF; Clinical Sciences Representative of SMSF; Treasurer of SMSANZ. Nic’s interest in medical education and relevant advocacy work also led him to become an ambassador for AMBOSS, an appointment he still maintains.
Nic graduated early from Flinders with a BClinSc and returned to Singapore, after having accepted a transfer offer in May 2021 to NUS Medicine. In his commitment to finish what he started, Nic completed his term as SMSANZ Treasurer despite the medical school transfer. Moreover, in the Elsevier ClinicalKey Student Global Challenge 2021, a challenge which brought together over 7,500 medical students from over 100 countries, Nic rose the ranks to become one of only 15 world finalists. During the two-day-long leadership summit in London, where the finalists gathered for the world finals, Nic’s team of four (‘The Astrocytes’) emerged as the world champions. In 2023, Nic won the Palliative Medicine Book Prize, an award given to students whose submitted essays on palliative medicine have been deemed outstanding by the Year 3 Palliative Medicine posting directors. Additionally, he was also shortlisted (from among more than 300 eligible students in his academic year level) for the Lee Foundation Professionalism Award.
Nic has been a member of the NUS Ophthalmology Clinical Student Interest Group (CSIG) since June 2021, and recently became an ExCo member of the CSIG in June 2022. Supervised by A/Prof Rupesh Agrawal, Nic is currently doing research involving the segmentation and analysis of thousands of optical coherence tomography (OCT) scans, with the goal of establishing greater use for the choroid vascularity index in ophthalmological clinical practice.
