The MBBS-PhD programme is a significant milestone in medical education in Singapore. In July 2000, the Faculty of Medicine, National University of Singapore launched this programme in collaboration with the Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology, with support from the Economic Development Board, and the Agency for Science, Technology and Research, Singapore. The objectives of the programme are to nurture and develop the talents of the brightest medical students by integrating clinical and basic biomedical research training, as well as to stimulate advanced basic and applied research in areas of growing importance to clinical medicine. The programme also aims to train clinician-scientists who will interface basic biology and clinical practice to solve biomedical problems and spearhead biomedical research initiatives in Singapore. Successful MBBS-PhD graduates can pursue career tracks in clinical research, basic biomedical research or in the biotechnology industry.
医学学士 - 博士课程是新加坡医学教育的一个重要里程碑。2000年7月，新加坡国立大学医学院与分子与细胞生物学研究所合作推出了该课程，得到了经济发展局以及新加坡科技研究局的支持。该课程的目标是通过整合临床和基础生物医学研究培训来培养和发展最优秀医学生的才能，同时促进在对临床医学日益重要的领域开展先进的基础研究和应用研究。该课程还旨在培养临床科学家，他们将把基础生物学与临床实践相结合，以解决生物医学问题，并在新加坡引领生物医学研究倡议。成功完成医学学士 - 博士课程的毕业生可以在临床研究、基础生物医学研究或生物技术行业谋求职业发展。
