WILLIAM SUH, B.S.B.E., M.S., D.C.*
William Suh double-majored in Biomedical Engineering and Mathematics at the University of Miami (Coral Gables, Florida, USA) under a four-year academic scholarship, and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering with Honors (General Honors Program). While he was there, he received two additional Engineering scholarships for his hard work and dedication to his studies. He continued studying engineering and graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (Urbana, Illinois, USA) with a Master of Science in General Engineering (currently the Department of Industrial and Enterprise Systems Engineering) with a full academic scholarship which also included a Teaching Assistantship (TA) during the normal semesters, and a Research Assistantship (RA) during the summer semesters which included a monthly stipend for the whole duration of his graduate degree.
The switch from Biomedical Engineering to Systems Engineering was not necessarily his decision, but was purely based on the available thesis topics within the current faculty. After graduate school, William Suh worked on rocket navigation guidance systems, for both domestic and US Military applications, as a Systems Engineer for six years.
After getting a flavor of corporate life, William Suh decided to go back to the biomedical field where he first started his educational journey. After careful consideration, he decided to further his education and become a Chiropractic Physician since he has always had an interest in the biomechanics of the human body and taking care of others. William Suh received his Doctor of Chiropractic degree in 2007 from the National University of Health Sciences in Chicago (Lombard, Illinois, USA). William Suh worked in a private, multidisciplinary practice in the suburbs of Chicago immediately following his graduation, until moving to Singapore in 2011. William Suh founded the Singapore Bone and Joint Clinic Pte Ltd to continue his passion for helping patients.
