• In 2008, Dr Wong was awarded the healthcare manpower development programme (HMDP) scholarship by the Ministry of Health, Singapore to pursue subspecialty training at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA. At the university's Centre for Functional Gastrointestinal and Motility Disorders, he trained in the management of functional gastrointestinal disorders, in oesophageal motility and in anorectal manometry (to evaluate patients with constipation or faecal incontinence), under the mentorship of Dr Douglas Drossman and Dr William Whitehead.

He was also the director of undergraduate education for gastroenterology and hepatology. He continues to be a visiting consultant at NUH.
• Dr Wong introduced the use of high-resolution manometry in Singapore to measure pressures in the gastrointestinal tract, which improves the diagnosis and management of oesophageal disorders. He also established the gastroenterology-psychology multidisciplinary service, which has provided an alternative treatment for irritable bowel syndrome. He was also part of the team that introduced fecal microbiota transplantation in Singapore, which is the transfer of faecal bacteria from a healthy individual to a recipient.
• Dr Wong is part of the faculty of the International Anorectal Physiology Workgroup, which drafts new language and definitions for high-resolution anorectal manometry. He is also the president of the IBS Support Group in Singapore and a member of the National Colorectal Cancer Screening Committee, which seeks to improve colorectal cancer screening in Singapore. Dr Wong also volunteers on the committee for the St Andrew’s Home for the Aged.
