Duke-NUS Doctor of Medicine

At Duke-NUS Medical School, we are committed to developing graduates who beyond practicing medicine, are equipped with the capabilities to improve the practice of medicine. A hallmark of our curriculum is the Research and Scholarship period, offering our students the opportunity to engage in personalized, comprehensive, and sustained research projects. This component complements the essential clinical education and is pivotal in fostering our "Clinician Plus" vision.
