NUHS – A Leading Academic Health System in Singapore

As an Academic Health System, the National University Health System (NUHS) is Singapore's healthcare academic powerhouse consisting of three schools namely, the NUS Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine (NUS Medicine) which includes the Alice Lee Centre for Nursing Studies (ALCNS), NUS Faculty of Dentistry (FOD) and NUS Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health (SSHSPH). The NUS Schools train the largest number of medical students and are the only nursing and public health tertiary education institutions in Singapore.

Where Learning Meets Practice

As the healthcare cluster serving Singapore’s western region, NUHS is uniquely positioned to improve the health of our community through nurturing the next generation of healthcare professionals and providing incredible care to our patients and community. We do this by continuous education efforts in a dynamic, real-world training environment via our hospitals, polyclinics and GP clinics. Students from our three NUS schools and other Institutes of Higher Learning undergo Pre-Employment Clinical Training (PECT) at NUHS care sites.

We also offer:

  • Postgraduate Residency Training in multiple disciplines and
  • Continuing Education and Training (CET) for healthcare professionals seeking to deepen their expertise.

This continuum of learning ensures that every stage of the healthcare education journey is covered—rooted in clinical excellence, academic rigor, and research impact.
