Rating: 4.9 (15 reviews)

Life as a medical student at the National University of Singapore Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine is a dynamic blend of academic excellence and diverse extracurricular experiences. The MBBS student life is vibrant and offers wide-ranging opportunities, from sports and community service to research, music, and dance. Every incoming cohort is grouped into 10 Houses, each with its own identity. Together, the students from the Houses take part in fun and meaningful activities throughout their undergraduate years. Senior and junior students get to interact and build the bonds and friendships that are so important later at work in Singapore’s hospitals and clinics.

We’ll teach you the science and art of medicine. But that’s just the start of learning to become a good doctor.

You’ll learn the importance of teamwork in healthcare, because we bring students from Medicine, Nursing, Dentistry and Social Work together to work and learn as teams.

We’ll help you learn through realistic and challenging situational experiences – in a safe and inspiring environment under the guidance of experienced clinical faculty.

You will also interact closely with patients in hospitals and clinics. These are all part of the School’s aim of nurturing compassionate and socially responsible doctors.

You’ll also learn to serve, and to lead

Service to the community is part of the School’s founding ethos. Apart from experiential learning, the MBBS student experience life includes learning to plan, organise, lead, and participate in a wide range of social projects and community outreach efforts.

The Global Health and Leadership Programme (GoHelp) aims to nurture students into compassionate and community-responsive individuals equipped with competencies to make significant and sustainable differences to the increasingly profound health challenges in local and international communities.

Examples of GoHelp projects are Project Lokun, Project Yangon, Camp Simba and Public Health Service.
