About AMEI Education Grant
The AMEI Education Grant provides funding to support rigorous, theory-informed research that advances health professions education. The grant encourages interprofessional projects that generate new knowledge and bridge theory with practice across the SingHealth Duke-NUS Academic Medical Centre (AMC) and beyond.
