NMSC 2022 will be held at Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, NUS, from 30th of April (10am-6pm) - 1st of May (9am-6pm)🕰, with students from our 3 local medical schools - Duke-NUS Medical School, NUS YLL School of Medicine and NTU LKC School of Medicine.
NMSC provides medical students with a platform to engage in discussions regarding challenges and issues which are pertinent to us both in school and our future workplace. It also aims to help foster meaningful interactions among medical students across all three schools. We will be running centralised workshops and electives of 3 different sub-themes. Apart from interactive workshops and insightful discussions, you can also look forward to talks by invited junior and senior doctors.
Why Join NMSC?
Unlike other formal engagements that you may have participated in before, NMSC is a completely student-centred, one-of-its-kind convention. With students at the heart of the event, we hope to foster a space for open and honest discussion on a range of topics, including controversial topics that may be challenging to tackle in other formal medical engagements.
NMSC 2022 will feature talks by invited speakers, group activities, brainstorming sessions and reflection sessions, and finally a presentations by participants to conclude the event. All participants will be presented with a certificates of participation too! All these exciting events will be held as either Workshops or Electives. Workshops are centralised events attended by all participants together, while electives will be attended based on the track all participants will be allocated to.
What are tracks?
This year, NMSC 2022 will be divided into three tracks: Medical School, The Hospital and Beyond the Hospital, representing the present, near and distant future respectively. You will also be able to rank your interest in these three domains for allocation, subject to places available.
