- Palliative Medicine
- Radiation Oncology
- Surgical Oncology

As different doctors will have varying needs and interests, our fellowships and attachment programmes are customised according to his/her needs. English language will be the primary medium for exchanges and learning at the Centre. Upon the successful completion of the programme, the candidate would receive a certificate of participation/ appreciation.
Clinical Fellowships
The NCC Clinical Fellowship programme provides overseas medical specialists an excellent opportunity to participate in cancer treatment, teaching and research at the National Cancer Centre. Depending on the suitability of the applicant, NCC may consider sponsoring the fellowship, whereby an allowance would be given during the candidate's stay at the Centre. As limited fellowships will be awarded each year, please contact the Post-Graduate Cancer Education Office should you like to explore this opportunity further.
Clinical Attachments
Participants of the NCC Clinical Attachment programme will be given an opportunity to observe cancer treatment, teaching and research at the Centre. The duration of the attachment varies from 1 week to a month, depending on the need of the participants. Please contact the Post-Graduate Cancer Education Office should you like to receive more information on the attachment programme.

NEW! Specialist Programme in Palliative Medicine
National Cancer Centre Singapore (NCCS) and Flinders University of South Australia have signed an MOU to offer Singapore’s first interdisciplinary university course for doctors and nurses in palliative care. The programme- Graduate Certificate in Health (Palliative Care)- was a response to the growing demand and interest in palliative care locally and internationally. The Graduate Certificate in Health (Palliative Care) will be a one year programme open to doctors and nurses wanting to specialise in the field. In contrast to the current provision of short courses on specific topics, the comprehensive specialist programme will provide a structured and evidence-based framework for trainees to understand holistic care of people living with life- limiting illnesses. It includes modules on clinical assessment and management of commonly encountered symptoms as well as skills for communication on sensitive issues in the palliative care context.
