Surgeon Bertha Woon is the first medical doctor to graduate from SMU's Juris Doctor programme. She said that she signed up for the programme “as there are a lot of medico-legal issues facing our region” and Singapore's medical association has no legal professionals. Dr Woon is one of 1,929 SMU students graduating in eight ceremonies over three days – SMU's largest ever cohort. They include the first batch of 29 EMBA students.
