The Duke-NUS Student Council serves as a channel through which students can engage in the formulation of institutional policies which impact academic and student affairs at Duke-NUS. The Student Council is elected annually to represent the student body and advocate on its behalf. In addition, we oversee the planning and execution of school-wide student welfare events and community service activities, authorise and support student initiatives, as well as maintain relations with our counterparts at the NUS Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, NTU Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine, Duke University, Singapore Medical Association, and other professional and student organisations.

The Student Council is committed to serve all Duke-NUS students, in the MD, PhD and MD/PhD programmes alike. It also works closely with the Duke-NUS administration to improve student life, refine the curriculum, foster professional development and facilitate interaction between students, faculty, and the greater medical community in Singapore.
​
To that end, the Student Council actively collects student feedback and makes appointments with various student and joint student-faculty committees, and task forces, thus enabling students to collectively express their views on matters of general interest to the student population, and for these views to be reflected not only to the school administrators but also the Ministry of Health.
