• Create an opportunity for medical students who are accepted into an established project in any SingHealth institution to experience the implementation of cutting edge research.

• Enhance learning opportunities for medical students who will gain practical skills and knowledge that are applicable in their careers after graduation.

• Allow ACPs, Programme Directors (PDs), Clerkship Directors/Coordinators and faculty to better understand students’ aspirations in order to help them develop their career in medicine.
