for international medical students do they do their housemanship in Singapore or in UK?

I’ve seen a foreign student (a German student actually) doing internship in SGH & doc said she was an exchange student. Guess they can either apply for home-country internships or be allowed to intern in SG if they serve some years in Spore?

[quote=SAMKY post_id=1909547 time=1557395145 user_id=177456]My daughter doesn't think she'll make it to NUS YLL, but she she said she wanted to study medicine at Duke as a postgraduate. I'm not sure if this is a better or if we should just try to send her overseas.. Her teacher told us about a medical seminar by NUS called So You Want To Be A Doctor?. She said it was very popular last year and is happening again this year at the end of May. It supposedly has many doctors and professors from NUS YLL, Duke NUS and NTU LKC... Has anyone heard of it/attended it before?

There are factors to consider in deciding between the Duke-NUS and overseas universities such as:
-whether your daughter is willing and able to live away from home
-cost of an overseas education (have to buffer for accommodation/ living expenses)
-no of years of study (certain countries are 5 or 6 years versus 7-8 years at Duke-NUS)
-vacancies at the overseas university (there are quotas for international students doing med in the overseas universities)
etc

As for the seminar you mentioned, I can't comment on it as my DD has not attended it but if it was popular and recommended, go for it

I encouraged my DD to attend various seminars/ workshops/ shadowing to expose her to what the profession is about before she makes her decision.

Thanks jtoh.

Looking at the 4+4 years at Yale-NUS and Duke NUS, seems like the course gives equal emphasis on both degrees. I agree 4 years in Duke-NUS is probably going to be rushed since NUS/NTU med are 5 year courses and UK is 6 years. But I guess 4+5 years may be pushing it.

It is essentially 8 years for two degrees. As the Duke-NUS degree is a post grad one, it makes sense for it to be really crammed and rushed as the mid-career students would want to graduate quickly and get back to working to support their families. For those pursuing the post grad immediately after their first degree, I imagine they would want to start work sooner than later after already spending a good part of a decade studying in the uni.

My DD is interested in doing med and in our research, we came across the various Duke-NUS post grad medicine programmes. We are curious about the Yale NUS-Duke NUS route. Understand that it is a 4+4 year programme with an humanities element.

Does anyone have some insight as to the value of taking such a route? The obvious \"cost\" is time and money but I am curious as to the benefit of producing such doctors either from the doctor's or patient's point of view.

Thank you.

When is the nus medicine/dentistry release offer letter ?

When is the ntu medicine offer the place for waiting list ?

NUS med offers are in early May, so likely to be tomorrow or Monday.
NTU waitlist offers will come after places become available after students who got places in NTU reject the offer. This will likely be after the close of the acceptance period on the joint admissions portal
