Nurturing Leaders in Medical Research, Education and Patient Care
While the Duke-National University of Singapore Graduate Medical School (Duke-NUS GMS) is physically located within the Outram Campus, the close affiliation between SingHealth and the distinguished medical education institution transcends physical proximity.
SingHealth’s senior executives and physician leadership of its various medical boards, departments and divisions are active participants in the Duke-NUS GMS committees. At the same time, majority of Duke-NUS GMS’ local faculty comprises SingHealth’s outstanding physicians, offering students tutelage in a world-class academic establishment.
Situated at the Outram Campus where renowned SingHealth medical institutions and specialty centres congregate, Duke-NUS GMS presents students the ideal clerkship environment.
Postgraduate education at Duke-NUS GMS has strong emphases on:
Nurturing highly trained physician-scientists
Featuring a curriculum that devotes an entire year to independent research, the programme aims to produce highly trained clinician-scientists; specialist medical professionals whose patient care expertise is also built upon exposure to clinically-related research.
Advancing medical research, education and patient care
The innovative and rigorous medical education programme aims to groom leaders who are equally competent in advanced biomedical science research, educating the next generation of healthcare professionals, as well as clinical service delivery. This threefold objective will significantly increase Singapore’s capacity to realise its potential as a vibrant biomedical hub in the region.
