About Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine The Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine, a partnership between Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and Imperial College London, will train a generation of doctors who will put patients at the centre of their exemplary medical care. Graduates of the five-year undergraduate medical degree programme that begins in 2013 will have a strong understanding of the scientific basis of medicine, along with interdisciplinary subjects including business management, humanities and technology. The School’s primary clinical partner is the National Healthcare Group, a leader in public healthcare recognised for the quality of its medical expertise, facilities and teaching. The School, named after local philanthropist Tan Sri Dato Lee Kong Chian, aims to be a future model for innovative medical education. Its first doctors will graduate in 2018 with a Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS), awarded jointly by NTU and Imperial College London, and become doctors who will enhance Singapore’s healthcare in the decades to come.
Message from the Dean When the first students of the Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine arrive in August 2013 they will find that extraordinary opportunities lie ahead. They will be joining a School with ambitious aims to redefine medicine. Their experiences over the next five years will equip them to reach the highest professional standards in the care they give to patients. They will complete their studies as confident and competent medical practitioners, ready to transform healthcare to meet the needs of Singapore. Since LKCMedicine was established in 2010 as a joint medical school between Nanyang Technological University and Imperial College London, we have been developing a modern curriculum that is characterised by its innovative approaches. Students will be taught by worldclass experts, working in teams in a high-tech environment and gaining experience from the start in hospitals, patients’ homes and in all settings where healthcare is delivered. They will learn through simulations, refining their skills with the assistance of actors, and will benefit from extensive use of technology, accessing eLearning materials through their iPad anywhere and at any time. We aim to produce graduates who will excel in their career path, whether they choose to become a surgeon, a clinical scientist or a physician working in an underprivileged environment, or they take another one of the diverse routes that will be open to them. As the demands on healthcare change, with people living longer and a rise in long-term diseases, LKCMedicine doctors will be well prepared to respond, putting each patient’s individual needs at the centre of their care. With a thorough understanding of the scientific basis of medicine they will be able to continue their learning, identifying how new findings could lead to new treatments. Exposure to engineering and business, gained thanks to the School’s emphasis on interdisciplinary teaching, will mean graduates are willing to embrace new approaches and new technologies in the care they deliver. LKCMedicine, with the support of the Ministry of Education and our healthcare partners, is committed to giving an outstanding education to students who are passionate about pursuing a career in medicine. Alongside this, we strive to build on the research strengths of Imperial and NTU to make medical discoveries that will benefit society. There is an exciting journey ahead and we are seeking Singapore’s brightest talents to join us.
