Emblem

The Emblem of the College shall consist of a shield supported by 2 lions on each side. The lions represent Singapore and dauntless courage. Within the shield, the Chevron symbolises the coming-together of the specialties of internal medicine under one roof - the College. The 16 bars in the Chevron represent 14 current and future chapters. The column represents fortitude and constancy; with a serpent coiled around it representing wisdom with fortitude. The orchid Vanda Miss Joaquim is the Singapore's national flower. Its hardy and resilient qualities and its ability to bloom throughout the year are the characteristics which reflect our quest for progress and excellence. The Singapore's Lion Head symbolises courage, strength and excellence, as well as resilience in the face of challenges.

On top of the shield is a banner with the wordings "College of Physicians". Below the shield is a banner inscribed with the Academy of Medicine, Singapore's motto, 'Recta Sapere", which urges us to seek and savour the truth at all times.
