Education Minister Chan Chun Sing and Mr Lim Chuan Poh, chairman of LKCMedicine’s governing board , speaking to LKCMedicine students at a homecoming event on Aug 1.

Mr Chan was speaking as the guest of honour at Nanyang Technological University’s Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine Homecoming event on Aug 1. The new Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery degree programme will have three new aspects – digital health technologies, medical humanities, and professional growth and development, said Professor Joseph Sung, dean of LKCMedicine.

Prof Sung added that under this new curriculum, students will also be trained to become more resilient doctors who can overcome new challenges in the healthcare landscape in the future. “Times are changing and the demands of healthcare are also changing, and what is needed as a clinician will change over time,” the 25-year-old said. “I think these are changes that anyone in the medical field is anticipating.”Mr Lim, who will be graduating in 2025, said that it feels like the end of a chapter and the start of a new one, now that the school will be conferring its own degrees.
