Medical Humanities meets success with MOE Tier 2 Award
It is with great pleasure to announce that Professor K.K. Luke and
Assistant Professor Lim Ni Eng have been awarded a MOE Tier-2 grant for their project: “Doctoring
the Elderly: Doctor-Patient Interaction in a Urology Clinic”. They will receive
$440,000 for this grant. Their project is an interdisciplinary study on
authentic medical interaction with elderly within the diverse context of
multilingual-multicultural Singapore. The collaboration between linguists,
frontline clinicians and medical educators in this research promises findings
of significance not only to medical studies, but to language and cultural
studies in the social sciences as well.
