Doctor of Medicine

Overview

The medical course comprises a preclinical phase (2 years) of basic medical sciences, an intermediate stage of junior clinical clerkship (1 year) followed by senior medical clerkship (2 years). Problem solving, methods of inquiry, critical thinking and independent learning strategies are emphasized. At the end of the course, students are expected to graduate with competencies in the relevant areas of knowledge and clinical skills, apart from leadership and communication skills pertaining to working with other healthcare professionals. 

The course also equips graduates with life-long learning and medical research capabilities via a special research module. Personal and professional development modules spanning the duration of the 5-year program equips learners with important soft skills, awareness of medical ethics and a sense of social responsibility 

Our aim is to produce well-rounded medical professionals who are able to serve society in challenging and varied work environments and who are well-positioned for further postgraduate training. Students are supported by a mentor-mentee system throughout the programme.
