About Us

The Medicine Academic Clinical Programme (Medicine ACP), launched in July 2012, was one of the first batches of ACPs to be formed.

An Academic Clinical Programme (ACP) is a cluster-wide framework for all clinical specialties to advance in Academic Medicine with resources and funding support from SingHealth and Duke-NUS Medical School. Each ACP aims to gather specialists of the same discipline from different institutions to enhance the capacity and benefits of shared knowledge and resources within the cluster.

The formation of ACPs taps on the combined strengths of the partnership between the SingHealth Group and Duke-NUS Medical School. The programme seeks to enhance the quality of patient care through research, quality improvement and education, and eventually transform healthcare in Singapore. At the same time, ACPs are also platforms to give recognition to clinicians who have contributed significantly to improve patient care through medical education, research and clinical innovation.

Aspirations
At Medicine ACP, every medical staff is committed to advance the boundaries of knowledge in labs, classrooms and clinics. The Medicine ACP Office promotes and supports these dedicated researchers, teachers and clinicians. Together, we will work hand in hand to channel resources to further research, medical education, clinical skills and knowledge so that patients can ultimately benefit through innovative clinical care. We aspire to be world-class leaders in Academic Medicine through adequate resourcing of research and educational activities by leveraging on our collective clinical strengths.
