Application for NUS/NTU Medicine 2020/2021

[lee_yl]

As of today, MANY good/top students in Singapore can get into Cambridge/Oxford and other top notch overseas schools lah. Ironically, many overseas top universities also value their tie-ups with S’pore as their students get exposed to Asia in a cosmopolitan environment.


Covid-19 changes everything, the underlying racism in the Western countries shows up with blatant attacks on Asians and should there be subsequent waves of infection, under an overstretched medical system, will they save your child’s life ahead of a White?

Years later, we may look back at Covid-19 as the pivotal moment that confirms the decline of the West.

Comparing healthcare system, the number of death due to Covid-19: SG 22 versus UK 34,466 as of now, despite UK has many top notch medical schools!


So, NUS YLL is not so bad, world ranking 21.

Yes NUS YLL are good. However, a country's death rate has more to do than the standing and quality of it's med schools alone. It also have to do with the country's demography, healthcare system, policies, infrastructure, among others.

The top 10 hospitals in the world as per Newsweek's latest ranking:

1. Mayo Clinic
2. Cleveland Clinic
3. Massachusetts General Hospital (Boston)
4. Toronto General Hospital (Toronto, Canada)
5. Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin (Berlin, Germany)
6. The Johns Hopkins Hospital (Baltimore)
7. Universitätsspital Zürich (Zurich, Switzerland)
8. Singapore General Hospital (Bukit Merah, Singapore)
9. Sheba Medical Center (Ramat Gan, Israel)
10. Karolinska Universitetssjukhuset (Solna, Sweden)

Based on the list, despite having most of the top 10 hospitals in the world, US's covid-19 fatality rate is among the highest. US also have top medical research school such as Johns Hopkins but best med schools and best hospitals alone cannot keep the covid-19 fatality rate low.

One of the key components of a healthcare system is the medical doctors and medical experts. These are the products of medical school. In US case, the politicians overwrite the medical experts!

Comparing med school ranking vis-a-vis Covid 19 death numbers without accounting for political considerations and social-cultural norms!!!

I do have a friend of mine whose son got into Duke NUS. He was studying in a Australia Uni for Biological Science for the last 3-4 years and worked in medical for 2 years before going onto Duke NUS.
