Best Oral Presentation

The Best Oral Presentation was traditionally awarded to the trainee with the best oral presentation during the Nephrology Advanced Specialty Training (NAST) Meeting, which had its first session in 2006. This tradition continued after the NAST meeting became incorporated into the Annual Scientific Meeting of the Singapore Society of Nephrology in 2010 and continues till this day.
