Medicine, as taught and practiced in medical schools, has long focused on addressing the biological causes and treatments for disease and bodily injury. Yet in many instances, even when medical science has the cure or solutions to a better quality of life through preventive care, translation into actual population health and well-being could fail.

At NUS Medicine, we aim to change this through thoughtful application of both Behavioural Insights (BI) and Implementation Science (IS) at the newly established Centre for Behavioural and Implementation Science Interventions (BISI).
