The Education Support aims to encourage the development of health professions education programmes or initiatives which are sustainable and in line with the SingHealth Duke-NUS Education Masterplan. Health professions education focuses on the education of health professionals in order to achieve positive health outcomes for patients and populations.
A health professions education programme / initiative (i.e. proposal) that clearly demonstrates alignment with 1 or more of the 5 SingHealth Duke-NUS Academic Medical Centre (AMC) Education Masterplan strategic thrusts (as listed below) is preferred:
- Develop capacity and capability to achieve education excellence
- Build a community of collaborative practice-ready professionals through Interprofessional Practice and Education (IPE)
- Enhance education platforms by leveraging innovation and technologies
- Streamline and integrate training & development, structures and support services
- Foster wellness, resilience & nurture psychologically safe environments in healthcare
From FY2022, three themes have been introduced to improve alignment to the SingHealth Duke-NUS Education Masterplan and to support projects that produce results that are strategically beneficial to our AMC.
They are:
- Technology-Enhanced Learning (TEL)
- Faculty Development (FD)
- Interprofessional Education & Collaborative Practice (IPECP)
Themed proposals are encouraged. Non-themed proposals will also be considered. All proposals will be judged by the same criteria. Preference will be given to proposals which fulfil the themes.
Whether themed or non-themed, proposals with appropriate conceptual framework(s), study designs, methodology, analysis and impactful outcomes, especially educational outcomes beyond personal satisfaction (Kirkpatrick Level 1) that are relevant to our AMC are preferred. Quantitative and qualitative studies, and mixed-methods studies are all welcome.
Applicants can refer to information sheet - appendix 2 and 3 for more information on available TEL resources (e.g. rental of headsets, project management, e-learning, animation, video production etc.) in the AMC.
