After graduating from the University of New South Wales, Australia in 1970 and spending 2 years completing his residency in Sydney and Brisbane, Dr Ho Kok Tong returned to join the Singapore Armed Forces as a medical officer. He became a medical trainee and was subsequently appointed lecturer in 1975 and later senior lecturer of the Department of Medicine at the University of Singapore and the Singapore General Hospital (SGH).
Dr Ho received endoscopy training at the Tokyo Medical and Dental College and at St. Mark's Hospital in London and later became Head of the Division of Gastroenterology, setting up the endoscopy service at the university's Department of Medicine.
Dr Ho was actively involved in the teaching of medical students, research and providing services to patients at SGH. In 1976, he was awarded the Commonwealth scholarship to work as a research fellow and an assistant to the world renowned hepatologist, Professor Dame Shelia Sherlock at the Royal Free Hospital in London. He gained extensive experience in the management of liver diseases and has published papers on peptic ulcers, hepatitis, other liver diseases, and diagnostic and therapeutic gastroscopy and colonoscopy.
