DGMS offers Master of Medicine coursework programmes which are "by-exams" only. There is no classroom teaching per se because the training is experienced at the hospitals. Doctors who meet the eligibility criteria may apply for the specific exam. Notwithstanding the above, we also offer Exam Preparatory Courses for selected specialties and discipline.
Each specialty has different requirements; the minimum requirement is to have a recognised basic Medical Degree. Please refer to the respective exam announcement(s) for the specialty(ies) you are interested in.
If you fulfill our MMED exams' eligibility criteria, you may apply to sit for the examination. You may wish to visit our website for a comprehensive list of MMED exams administered by DGMS.
Obtaining a Master of Medicine Degree does not guarantee employment in Singapore. Job opportunities in Singapore, with or without a MMED degree, is dependant on your potential employer and application with the relevant authorities such as Singapore Medical Council, Ministry of Manpower etc...
For employment in Singapore, recruitment is done directly by the Institutions. Hence, you may wish to contact them directly at https://medicine.nus.edu.sg/dgms/useful-links.htm
