NTU to be first local medical school to make cadaveric dissection a mandatory module
An undergraduate medical school will make dissection of human bodies a mandatory module of its curriculum. The Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine in Nanyang Technological University will be the first in Singapore to do so. This will start from the academic year of 2026, to give its third-year medical students hands-on experience and expand their knowledge in anatomy. Nadine Yeam reports.
