Additional Information
The Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine (LKCMedicine) trains doctors who put patients at the centre of their exemplary care. The School, which offers both undergraduate and graduate programmes, is named after local philanthropist Tan Sri Dato Lee Kong Chian. Established in 2010 by Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, in partnership with Imperial College London, LKCMedicine aims to be a model for innovative medical education and a centre for transformative research. The School's primary clinical partner is the National Healthcare Group, a leader in public healthcare recognised for the quality of its medical expertise, facilities and teaching. The School is transitioning to an NTU medical school ahead of the 2028 successful conclusion of the NTU-Imperial partnership to set up a Joint Medical School. In August 2024, we welcomed our first intake of the NTU MBBS programme, that has been recently enhanced to include themes like precision medicine and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in healthcare, with an expanded scope in the medical humanities. Graduates from the five-year undergraduate medical degree programme will have a strong understanding of the scientific basis of medicine, with an emphasis on technology, data science and the humanities.
The Office of Patient Engagement (OPEN) at LKCMedicine is a dedicated Centre in Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine that integrates patient and public voices into health research and medical education, ensuring research is shaped with those who have lived experience. OPEN supports researchers and educators to embed meaningful patient and public involvement (PPI) across the research lifecycle and engages with a diverse patient partner network that collaborates on research, education, and engagement activities. Through training programmes for patient partners, researchers, clinicians, and educators, and a dedicated research programme, OPEN builds capability and fosters partnerships that strengthen the quality, relevance, and impact of health research and education, contributing to broader efforts to improve healthcare through evidence generation.
