• Duke-NUS students participate in mentored research or scholarship activity that allows them to explore cutting-edge scientific issues and helps build the skills fundamental to becoming leaders in healthcare.
  • This intensive experience is the crown jewel of the Duke-NUS curriculum and prepares our students to not only practice medicine but also to improve the practice of medicine.
  • The mentored research experience provides a unique advantage to Duke-NUS medical students. Students interact one-on-one with research faculty, participate in cutting edge biomedical research, develop grant writing skills, contribute to the scientific literature, and refine presentation skills.
  • Research may be carried out with faculty members at Duke-NUS, Duke University (USA), National University of Singapore, or other Singapore research institutions such as A*STAR. The primary goal of the mentored research experience is to develop tomorrow's physician leaders through a rigorous scholarly experience in biomedical-related research.
