Beyond her clinical commitments, Dr Foo is actively involved in multi-disciplinary obstetrics simulation training. Initially focusing on OBGYN-centric teams, she extends and refines the program to encompass Emergency Medicine and Family Medicine physicians. Integrating her passion for simulation training and operative obstetrics, she orchestrates instrumental simulation workshops that cover clinical decision-making and safe operative techniques. Additionally, Dr. Foo is deeply engaged in teaching and mentoring medical students from Yong Loo Lin, Duke-NUS, and Lee Kong Chian Medical schools, serving as a Physician Faculty for PGY1s.

In addition to her expertise in O&G, Dr Foo is passionate about Global Health. She actively pursues the enrichment of her knowledge and experience within this field, exploring its implications on everyday medical practices and identifying opportunities for research and development. She has also been an integral part of multi-disciplinary medical mission teams conducting healthcare professional training in obstetrics emergencies and resuscitation, spear-heading multiple mission trips to Kampong Chnang, Cambodia.

She is a firm believer in workplace civility, and was responsible for initiating a campaign, The GRACE Movement, which creates awareness and discourse on workplace culture, and promotes positive workplace behavior.
