Founding Working Group

VESPA would not be in existence without the continued  enthusiasm of MBBS students throughout the years, and also the support of the  MBBS faculty. Prior to the formation of a student committee, VESPA was run  through a working group, whose members were: Sheila Vance & Elaine Halley  (staff), and Rob Mitchell, Jonathan Kam, Matthew Harvey, Joanna Tai, Pith Soh  Beh, Geok Lin Yeo, Jacqueline Sutton, Genevieve McPherson, Esther Ko, Peter  Morris, Pam Boekel, Michael Loftus, James Pho, Shamil Cooray, Jocelyn Jiang,  Matthew Lukies, Chuan Tai Foo, Justin Chua, Jason Chinnappa, Renishka Sellayah.   For the past three years, VESPA has been supported by a  formal committee of students:
