The day after the official opening, Duke-NUS held an open house – allowing staff and students to engage with families, friends, stakeholders and the school’s Outram health partners. Activities included informative talks about the admission process, a series of sessions introducing the latest research being carried out at Duke-NUS, and guided tours to show visitors the facilities. Dedicated booths were on hand to respond to the numerous interested queries on the school’s curriculum and research efforts, while representatives from SingHealth were also present to explain to the public how their partnership with Duke-NUS is contributing to the growth and development of new medical students. With so much to see and do, it was no surprise that the Wellness Zone quickly became a favorite, offering a few moments of relaxation and comfort to those in need of a brief recharge. American-style street food – churros, hotdogs, donuts and candy floss – also proved a hit with the crowds, many of whom made sure they sampled the full variety on offer. |
