July 2023 | Issue 66

Students are at the heart of all we do at LKCMedicine. These past few months we have bid farewell to our sixth cohort of students and admitted our 10th cohort into the School. 

In this issue, we look at the various events that celebrated our students’ academic excellence and reflect on the enduring LKCMedicine spirit. Where there are students, there will always be new initiatives and learning opportunities. Delve into the new Paediatric Medicine Student Assistantship Programme, and hear from our faculty about the School’s updated admission process as well as the transition from a joint MBBS programme to an independent NTU programme in 2028.

Don’t miss out on all these and more in the latest issue of The LKCMedicine newsletter!
