International Medical Education Partnership
Duke-NUS Medical School presents a unique learning experience for students to study and practice in one of the most dynamic and demanding regions for quality health care and medical research. Duke-NUS is Singapore’s first and only U.S.-style graduate medical school — a partnership between Duke University School of Medicine and the National University of Singapore (NUS). This combines the unique medical education curriculum at Duke with the academic rigor and rich resources offered by NUS, and offers students an enriching and innovative educational experience. Educational opportunities are available at Duke-NUS Medical School for Duke undergraduate and medical students. And Duke-NUS medical students can also study at Duke University School of Medicine.
The Office of Duke-NUS Affairs is on-site at Duke and coordinates administrative support to all collaborative initiatives between Duke, Duke-NUS, and SingHealth.
