This programme is led by Prof Ian Wilkinson (Professor of Therapeutics, University of Cambridge) and is focused on providing expert guidance and support to the emerging Sunway Medical Clinical Research Centre (CRC). It is intended that the CRC will become a leader in clinical research in South East Asia while developing capacity to conduct clinical trials.

RCP-Sunway-Cambridge seminars

This programme has been developed in partnership with the Royal College of Physicians (RCP), hosted by Sunway and focusing on Continuing Medical Education (CME) for clinicians in Malaysia. This strand draws on combined expertise within the RCP, the University of Cambridge and Sunway to deliver generalist and specialist medical seminars promoting CME and knowledge exchange between clinicians from each of the contributing organisations. This strand is being led by Prof Raja Affendi Raja Ali (Dean of the School of Medical and Life Sciences, Sunway University) on behalf of the Cambridge-Sunway Collaboration.
