Setelah menamatkan pendidikan podiatrik dan latihan pembedahan di Amerika Syarikat, Cik Saw Yu Ting mempunyai kelebihan sebagai satu-satunya podiatrist Singapura yang terlatih melalui pembedahan setakat ini. Beliau menerima Ijazah Doktor Perubatan Podiatrik (DPM) dari New York College of Podiatric Medicine (NYCPM) pada tahun 2017, di mana beliau telah dimasukkan ke dalam Pi Mu Delta National Honors Service Society.
She completed her rear foot and ankle surgical residency program in 2020 at the Long Island Jewish Forest Hills Hospital, also covering podiatric care at two Level 1 Trauma Hospitals. During her residency training, she was extensively trained in inpatient and outpatient diabetic limb salvage, foot wound care, sports medicine, nail care, geriatric and pediatric care and biomechanics.
Pengalamannya melangkaui tempoh kediamannya. Semasa ijazah DPM, beliau dilatih di lapan hospital bandar yang berbeza di sekitar kawasan New York City. Ini membolehkannya mendapat pelbagai pendedahan kepada pelbagai patologi podiatrik yang berbeza-beza. Sebagai pelajar, beliau juga dianugerahkan Dr. Sidney Solid Award atas kecemerlangan dan pencapaian dalam podiatri dan perkhidmatan kepada komuniti podiatrik.
Ms. Saw lived and grew up in five different countries and territories: Singapore, Hong Kong, China, Canada, and the US. Through her moves, she had to quickly learn to adapt and relate to classmates of diverse backgrounds, and this skill has translated to her being able to effortlessly relate to her patients.
While obtaining her Bachelor of Science in Human Physiology at Boston University, Ms. Saw conducted research at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital and presented her research at the Dana Farber Harvard Cancer Center. Ms. Saw then moved back to Singapore, where she continued to delve into the research realm and was a research assistant in rheumatology at Singapore General Hospital (SGH). While in podiatry school, Ms. Saw was a strong advocate for the podiatric profession and was a Student Ambassador for NYCPM, often speaking with prospective students and leading school tours. During her time in residency, Ms. Saw completed the Comprehensive Course of Internal Fixation for Reconstructive Surgery and Trauma of the Foot & Ankle at the American Academy of Foot and Ankle Osteosynthesis, enriching her podiatric skillset. She also completed the Limb Deformity Course at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York.
Cik Saw ingin mengaplikasikan pengetahuan dan minat beliau yang mendalam untuk menjaga pesakit di Singapura.
