With great power…

With great power…Scales will be tipped.Knowledge in asymmetry.Unbeknownst to the unsuspecting Man, Lurks a sacred role. With great power…Begets a realm of reason. A reason to lead.A reason to listen.A reason to love. With great power…Reach out, Take a knee,Open up your heart. With great power…Lies a greater Man. With great power… Alexander Shao-Rong Pang…

Whimsical sense of humour in the air – Crisp scents of Tintin, Snowy, and the Smurfs lingered. A melting pot of history present. Mussels floated as we dug deep, crevices of a foreign land – Quaint, little, neat. Who is she? Lengths of quilt wrapped round the cobblestone,On which paints and pillows put the head…

Will you be my Valentine?

The way you smile when you’re shy,The way you panic when you’re late,The way you grin when you’re happy…Your words, they are soft and springy.They bounced and they landed,O’yes, they sure did.– – – – – – – – – – – – – – O’ my Ditzy Damsel, It has been days or months…

Man’s Shortcomings:

The silence was deafening. White noise surrounds us as dinosaurs do,Value within which time travel exists/ Outside the box was all there was left,Jealousy consumes the modern day crisis/ Society’s critical thinking, the rag, the brag,Is the phenomenon of present, one full of regrets/ You are quick, yet they are quicker,Superseded were you, from grace…

ALEXANDER SHAO-RONG PANG

Alexander is a 24-year-old medical student in his penultimate year of training at the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine (NUS, Singapore) – who writes when he should be studying and gyms when he should be sleeping.

He takes a heterogeneous approach in his literary works, exploring multifarious themes in both his poetry and writings. His writings have placed in the Commonwealth Essay Competition hosted by The Royal Commonwealth Society and Cambridge University Press.

Alexander is passionate about promoting and refining the entire healthcare and MedTech milieu. He has a keen interest in Orthopaedic Surgery.

As Co-Founder and Chief Medical Officer of Hesyra, Alexander and his team are building an AI-powered tool tailored for oncology centers. Hesyra is collaborating with NCCS, NCIS, and private clinics both locally and internationally. Simultaneously, as Project Director in the NUS MedTech Society, Alexander is fostering and harnessing collaborative efforts to translate research into transformative innovations.

Alexander has deep-rooted interests in research and evidence-based medicine. He has been awarded several research accolades such as the NUS Outstanding Undergraduate Researcher Prize (OURP) 2024 and NUS Medicine Student Research Mentorship Programme Merit Award and Grant. He works on a multitude of projects, with a focus on Orthopaedic surgical techniques, Cardiology/ Cardiothoracic surgery, technology in surgical education, and medical epidemiology.

Outside of academia, one can find Alexander working through his passions, be it writing his blog (theahpunk.com), hitting the gym, or going on his morning hikes.

In the physical arena, Alexander is the Captain of the NUS YLLSOM Dodgeball team, who has led his team to countless podiums. Other times, one might find him fighting his demons in the gym.

Alexander is open to any research opportunities, projects, or even conversations and discussions pertaining to healthcare, entrepreneurship, healthtech (AI, ML, LLM, AR/ VR/ XR, and Serious Gaming), or just life perspectives in general. He looks forward to connecting with like-minded individuals who embrace change and are striving towards fulfilling their passion projects. Do reach out to connect, bounce ideas off each other, or collaborate.

In Medicine, we are taught to observe, connect, and learn. In sports, we are taught to respect, unite, and take risks. In writing, I learn to seek solace in the intricacies of life, the breakneck pace of each day, and, well, the occasional snail. Now then, here’s to the twists and turns that will lend meaning to the zest and gaiety of an inexhaustible joie de vivre!

Taking baby steps towards big dreams, constantly.
