Dr Ivy Ng is a Consultant Radiation Oncologist at the National University Cancer Institute, Singapore (NCIS), and a clinician-educator with a strong interest in how better training, thoughtful use of technology and safer systems can improve cancer care. She sees patients at Tan Tock Seng Hospital, Khoo Teck Puat Hospital and Woodlands Hospital.
Alongside her clinical practice, Dr Ng has taken on significant roles in developing the next generation of radiation oncologists. She is Training Network Director for the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Radiologists (RANZCR) Radiation Oncology training programme in Singapore, Deputy Director of Education, and Clinical Assistant Professor at the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore.
Her work in education has increasingly extended beyond Singapore. She was an IASLC Academy recipient in 2024 and the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Education Scholars Program 2026–2027. She also contributes to education initiatives through the Federation of Asian Organizations for Radiation Oncology (FARO) and serves as a mentor in the IASLC International Mentorship Program. To deepen her expertise as a clinician-educator, she is currently pursuing a Master of Health Professions Education, with a particular interest in how learning, assessment and feedback can better support the development of clinical expertise.
Dr Ng's scholarly interests sit at the intersection of cancer care, education and improvement. Her recent work has explored the use of artificial intelligence in radiation oncology education and the use of structured deliberate practice and AI-supported feedback to improve radiotherapy planning skills.
She graduated from the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore in 2010. She subsequently obtained postgraduate qualifications in Internal Medicine from the Royal Colleges of Physicians of the United Kingdom and NUS before specialising in Radiation Oncology with RANZCR. Her specialist training included postgraduate experience at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre in Melbourne, Australia.
Teaching has been a longstanding part of her career. She received the National Healthcare Group Outstanding Teaching Award early in her medical training and has since received several teaching awards, including the Dean's Award for Teaching Excellence. She was also awarded the NCIS Spark Award in 2024 in support of her further development in health professions education.
Across these different roles, her focus remains consistent: to deliver precise cancer treatment today while helping build the clinicians and systems that will provide better cancer care tomorrow.
