Specialty MMed degrees are awarded after a supervised rotational training in the university's affiliated teaching hospitals and lead to registration as specialist.
The entry requirements of both specialty and academic MMed programs are MBBS or related undergraduate medical qualifications.
Graduates of specialty MMed qualifications can either choose to practise as specialist physicians and surgeons in their respective specialties or undergo subspecialty PhD/fellowship training leading to an advanced specialisation practice as consultants.
The most important condition for gaining admission into MMed program is the availability of supervising professors or consultants who are willing to mentor the student.
The Master of Medicine is conferred by the National University of Singapore (NUS) Division of Graduate Medical Studies.
