As part of the Singhealth Duke-NUS campus, we value the opportunity to educate the next generation of doctors and surgeons-to-be in surgical cancer care and cancer research. The department is active in curriculum planning for Duke-NUS, and clinical teaching for students from Duke-NUS Medical School and Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine. We also actively contribute to the teaching and training of surgical residents. We welcome applications for attachments not only from local medical students but also from overseas medical students or pre-med students interested in pursuing medicine or oncology research as a career.
