In just one year at Duke-NUS Medical School, Mr Loh De Rong has already accomplished what some people can only hope to do in their entire lives.

His initial research at the Singapore University of Technology and Design has made him an essential contributor to the development of a content-based image retrieval tool to assist pharmacists with identifying look-alike medications, speeding up the process of drug procurement.

As someone who had received a conditional offer from Duke-NUS after completing an accelerated course of study at SUTD — the SUTD-Duke-NUS Special Track, to be precise — it was crushing to think that financing his studies would be the primary obstacle between him and his dream.Consultations with the admissions office at Duke-NUS resulted in him receiving bursaries that allowed him to enrol in Duke-NUS, without having to worry about the financial burden that it might have placed on his family.

“Through our world-class MD and MD/PhD programmes where students receive their degrees from both Duke University and the National University of Singapore, our students forge strong networks enabling them to become drivers of change to improve human health.” “By ensuring that our students do not have to worry about additional financial burdens, the School then nurtures our students to become outstanding, competent and empathetic doctors who give back to the Singapore community by improving patients’ lives.”
