<![CDATA[NUS / NTU medicine application 2018/2019]]>Hi, may I tap on this thread to ask abt Duke NUS Conditional Admission? DS is in NUSH and received a email on this. I’ve googled for info on the medical schools and still do not understand what’s the difference between Duke and YLL and LKC med school. Can anyone advise what does this conditional admission mean?

The four students bowed their heads before a portrait of a teacher they had never met in life.

Next to them stood his grieving widow, to whom he had been wed for 50 years, and their children and grandchildren.

They had all come to this hushed hall in Mandai Crematorium to bid farewell to Mr Hardial Singh, a pioneer botanist whose dedication to science did not cease with his death.

Instead, he had donated his body to the National University of Singapore's Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine. The entire body - measuring 170cm from head to heel - had been preserved, dissected and examined in the education of future doctors.

In death, the 77-year-old had taught human anatomy to more than 100 doctors-to-be.

The role cadavers play in medical education is why those donated to the school are referred to respectfully as \"silent mentors\".

Bay Song Lin’s work is key to teaching generations of medical students, how does she do it without any background in medical science?

Working in the NUS Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine as their only medical illustrator, she creates graphics and animations based on organs dissected from once living people.

These organs come from donors who pledged their bodies to science through the Silent Mentors Programme. In a field often thought of as cold and scary, she gives dignity to these human cadavers.

With new challenges facing Singapore’s healthcare sector as the society ages, there is a need to look beyond grades when it comes to nurturing and training doctors for the future.

\"Selecting students for medical school should not be just about grades, but about whether they have the right skills and values to be good doctors”, said Professor Chong Yap Seng, Dean of NUS Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine.

In an exclusive interview with The Straits Times, Prof Chong explains how NUS Medicine is embracing itself for the challenges of the future – and the key lies in nurturing compassionate, competent and innovative doctors from different backgrounds. He also assures that “no student will be denied the opportunity to study medicine at NUS because he is unable to pay the tuition fees.”

The Dean also shared that one in five NUS medical students receives financial help in the form of bursaries and scholarships from the school to cover tuition fees. Students who need more aid are also supported in their living expenses.

“We don’t look at whether a student is able to pay the fees. Just whether he or she will make a good doctor.”

Following changes in the way applicants are evaluated, the NUS medical school is now seeing a greater diversity in our intake, with medical students coming from more diverse academic backgrounds.

The School is studying the possibility of allowing students to combine their medical studies with other related courses. This could open up options for our students to combine the practices of medicine with other fields, such as health economics and administration or inventing new medical devices – all of which would help develop more holistic patient care and nurture our students into better doctors when they enter the medical profession.

Addressing the graduates of NUS Medicine at the Commencement ceremony on 14 July, Professor Tan Chorh Chuan, Chief Health Scientist, Ministry of Health, reminded the newly-minted doctors of the “precious gift” of skills and knowledge gained in their five years of medical school.

“They not only allow you to diagnose and heal, but to serve patients well, be a source of comfort, and to have a positive impact on communities, no matter where they are.”

He also urged young doctors to “remain effective” by continuously learning and expanding their knowledge, especially as they enter medical practice “at a time of great change and opportunity”.

Such views were echoed by NUS Medicine graduate and Class of 2019 valedictorian, Arturo Neo. In his speech, Arturo shares how his experiences during medical school and his housemanship taught him to “fight for our patients”.

Serving the underprivileged has taught Arturo to empathise with patients: “We are often caught up with day-to-day admin tasks and we may not have time to stop, to think about what else we can do to make the lives of our patients better, unless we make an active effort to do so.”

Arturo also shared that coming from a family which struggled financially when he was younger, helped him understand the “constraints and limitations” that some people have.

The Commencement ceremonies for NUS Medicine graduands was held at the University Cultural Centre. Over 1000 Medicine and Nursing undergraduates and postgraduates received their degrees.

SONG456,

Have u DC received LKC offer ready ? Thanks.

Hi gardenia64,

So sorry for the late response.

No, no response from any uni. My take on the situation is that SG is hitting the saturation point of doctors. Go read the straits times article on Singapore having too many doctors published on 9Jun.

Hi, song456,

Thanks for reply. My friend’s son accepted duke offer. At least he got an medicine offer and it is up to him to study hard at university. Duke is conditional offer.
10 years back it only nus had offer for 260 entries for medicine, half for girl, half for boy, now it has 500 entries for three medicine school. There are more Hospitials in SG now. Also MOH recruits more oversea doctors.
Looks like it is hard to get offer from LKC.

Hi iFireFly,

Very helpful, your post. And thank you SO MUCH for responding. I have been wondering why this forum is so quiet after being so active and supportive last year.

My ds is on lkc waitlist. Now that the first wave acceptance deadline is over, I would appreciate if anyone can share if u receive any update from nus/ntu in wave two. TIA.
You’re welcome, SONG456.

As we know, those who receive offers from both YLL and LKC will accept only one offer. Once they’ve made their choices (by 24/5), there’ll be vacancies in each medical school to offer to those on waitlist.

From what I’ve heard, chances of a LKC waitlist converted to an offer is very high. Last year, there were offers made by LKC, even after term had started in Aug.

Is your child @ NS now ? If you do hear good news from LKC by June, your child may be able to disrupt NS w.e.f. 1st July. Good Luck !

[quote=SONG456 post_id=1910942 time=1558167162 user_id=177729]Hi,

Can anyone share if your dc received nus offer after the initial mass-acceptance stage, did your dc made an appeal?

Basically, I'm trying to find out if there is any chance in appealing for medicine.

Thanks.

From the zero response to my original email on the chance of successful appeal to medicine, I think the conclusion is: almost none. :scared:

In any case, would appreciate if you can update this forum if you/your child receives an offer in the second wave? Many thanks.

Is your child on waitlist or has been rejected by the medical schools ? IMO, there’s really no need to appeal as the medical schools have shortlisted candidates on their waitlists. Should a vacancy arise, the school will make an offer to the first person on her waitlist.

My child shared with me that during orientation @ YLL, there were students transferred from LKC to YLL. These students were on YLL waitlist and had accepted LKC’s offers. I don’t know the reasons for the transfers so I can’t comment on that.

Hope it helps.. All The Best to your child ![/quote]Hi iFireFly,
