Dr Chang graduated with MBBS in 1994 and having obtained his Fellowship in Surgery from the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh in 2003, went on to further training in Laparoscopic Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery and Liver Transplantation in France. He is a key developer of the laparoscopic approach to Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery in this region and is also active in developing the Living Donor Liver Transplant Program in Singapore. He is the pioneer of the Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery and was the first among the first in the world to publish his experience in single incision laparoscopic gallbladder surgery, liver resection and pancreas resection. To date, he has more than 500 patients operated through this technique .

Dr Chang is the Founding President of the Hepatopancreatobiliary Association of Singapore where he established the Liver Disease Awareness Week Campaign. Internationally, he is the founding member of the International Laparoscopic Liver Society and also the Singapore Representative in the Asia-Pacific Laparoscopic Hepatectomy Promotion and Development Expert Committee.
