About CS Residency Track
SingHealth CS Residency is committed to nurturing Residents to establish and integrate themselves in Academic Medicine. CS Residents will undergo regular clinical and research training, while receiving support in resources and funding from the SingHealth Duke-NUS Academic Medical Centre.
CS Residents will go through the normal educational requirements of the clinical specialty with an additional year dedicated for research. During the course of training, CS Residents are provided mentorship, structured research training, opportunities to participate in research projects and given research protected time to obtain your Master of Clinical Investigation (MCI) or an equivalent training qualification. CS Residents will also be eligible to apply for the National Medical Research Council (NMRC) seed funding to start their pilot research projects.
