Prof. Ranga Krishnan, Dean, |

Clinical care +plus"Merging clinical care, education and the development of new knowledge in academic medicine means medicine is taken beyond clinical care. Academic medicine means 'clinical care plus'. It means educating others to provide state-of-the-art personalized medicine (or medical care) and to develop new knowledge that improves the quality of care by challenging and changing conventional wisdom by finding better ways to screen, diagnose, and treat medical disorders." Prof. John Rush, Vice Dean of Clinical Sciences, |
 |
Role of Education"There has always been great teachers in the Singapore public hospitals. Academic medicine provides additional incentives for faculty to become more skilled as a teacher. It also recognizes those that come up with ways to better educate our students through innovative curriculum or improved pedagogical approaches." Prof. Bob K. Kamei, Vice Dean, Education, |
 |
Role of Research"Advances in medicine are driven both from discoveries made in basic science and from pursuing questions that first arise from a doctor's assessment of a patient. In an academic medicine environment, the researchers and medical practitioners working together in teams greatly accelerates the pace at which medically-important discoveries are made and actually applied for the benefit of the patient." Prof. Patrick J. Casey, Senior Vice Dean, Research, |

"Academic Medicine will change the way we deliver care to patients. As thought leaders in care innovation, we will meet our patients' needs for the future." Prof Ivy Ng, Group CEO, SingHealth; |
 |
"We have in our midst great clinicians, great teachers and great researchers." Prof Ang Chong Lye, DCEO (Clinical Services & Informatics), SingHealth; |
 |
"Our strengths in research will enable us to differentiate the care we deliver to patients. By partnering with Duke-NUS, we will be able to access a network of world-class research resource to help advance medicine and achieve the best clinical outcomes for patients."
