Graduate Certificate (AMDR)

Graduate Certificate in Advanced Medical Device Regulation

The GCAMDR programme builds on and extends the Graduate Certificate Programme in Medical Device Regulatory Affairs (GCMDRA) by providing broader and deeper instructions in the area of medical device regulation.

This programme addresses the key thrusts of the Healthcare Industry Transformation Map (ITM) by providing multiple pathways to attract mid-career workers to enter healthcare-related industry and an enhanced learning platform to build a future-ready workforce. The Singapore government is synchronising our national efforts to respond to economic uncertainties through the introduction of the SkillsFuture scheme. The scheme provides opportunities for Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents to upgrade, enrich, and/or re-invent themselves. We are glad to be part of that effort in the field of Biomedical Engineering.
