About The Electives Programme
The Electives Programme at NUS Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine (NUS Medicine) offers medical students from universities outside of Singapore the opportunity to complete an electives posting(s) at one of the NUS Medicine-affiliated hospitals. Students will have the opportunity to join and learn alongside our NUS Medicine students from Years 3 to 5 for full–time clinical postings.

Upon completion of each posting, your supervisor will be able to provide an evaluation of your performance using the posting assessment form provided by NUS Medicine and by your own university (if any). Students will be provided with a Letter of Completion at the end of their final posting.
