BISI supports education and training in behavioural and implementation science at the School of Medicine in multiple ways:
- Undergraduate education: In 2019, BISI launched a successful pilot programme introducing Behavioural and Implementation Science as part of an elective pathway for medical undergraduates, and continues expanding course offerings that bring new skills and perspectives to future cohorts of doctors.
- Faculty workshops: BISI conducts workshops for interested faculty and healthcare leaders who are keen to explore behavioural and implementation science as part of their research or in their pursuit of evidence-based practices
- Continuing professional education (CET): BISI’s mission includes the development of behavioural and implementation science capacities among healthcare professionals across various sectors, through publicly available course offerings at NUS or customised learning experiences. All inquiries are welcomed!

Approaches in Behavioural and Implementation Science: Enhancing Healthcare Implementation through Better Design and Evaluation
This intermediate-level course delves deeper into Behavioural and Implementation Sciences, focusing on advanced strategies to optimise the adoption and sustainability of evidence-based interventions in clinical settings. Participants will gain expertise in not only designing tailored implementation strategies but also in rigorously evaluating the impact and effectiveness of implementation.

Past
Design and Evaluation of Interventions to Improve Mental Health
This course covers methods to design and evaluate interventions to improve mental health, within mental health services, primary care or at population level.
The complexity of effective mental health interventions requires collaboration from an early stage across academic disciplines, and amongst stakeholders such as people who may benefit from the intervention, their informal supporters, academics, clinicians, service managers and policymakers.
The course will also cover scale up and sustainability, referred to as implementability, from the start.
Casual Inference Methods for Promoting Behavioural and Implementation Change in Health: Insights from Observational Studies and Harnessing Population Heterogeneity in Experiments
Come join Prof Giuseppe Alessandro Veltri and Dr Ioannis Bakolis for an exciting day of learning about essential concepts relating to Behavioural interventions for health and review state-of-the-art statistical design and analysis for effective implementation research.
An Introduction to the Use of Behavioural and Implementation Sciences to Improve Health Outcomes
As healthcare systems and healthcare workers work under increasingly dynamic and resource-constrained conditions, we need to reconceptualise healthcare and design interventions that are effective and sustainable for the population in the long run. The objective of this in-person course is to introduce participants to frameworks in Behavioural and Implementation sciences and ways to apply them. Our experienced trainers will provide healthcare leaders and managers with case examples and strategies to improve uptake of interventions into routine practices, thereby increasing public health impact and bridging the research-to-practice gap.
This course is a collaboration between NUS Medicine Behavioural and Implementation Science Interventions (BISI) and Centre for Evidence and Implementation (CEI).
