Our History

The Medical Library was first located at the HQ Building when it was opened in August 2013. When the Clinical Sciences Building (CSB) was completed in 2016, the Medical Library was relocated to Level 20, the topmost floor of the building. To-date Medical Library is an integral part of the School community. To prepare students for real clinical settings, the Medical Library is actively involved with the School’s innovative pedagogic teaching practice of delivering medical curriculum through team-based learning which is used in library instruction.

To support the School’s pioneering medical curriculum and research needs, the library’s emphasis on collection building for medical resources (books, journals, audiovisual materials and databases) is geared towards the electronic format. Although the collection will be primarily focused on medicine and clinical practices, the library is building resources that explore the interface between medicine, science, engineering, business and the humanities, underpinning the School’s philosophy of redefining medicine and transforming healthcare.
