Opportunity to research

writing an essay on multiple sclerosis which opened me up to research
,papers

application of this theory in practice within the hospital grounds

Why Hong Kong? - ANSWER All medical schools are quite similar in prep,
what really drew me to Hong Kong...
1) Hong Kong is home - return to serve my people
- Happy to study anywhere as long as I get to be a doctor, but ultimately
amidst a community I'm familiar with.
2) I want to study here because:
- CUHK is one of the best medical schools in the world
- SMART curriculum
- Good general education programme (renowned programme - gives me
, education beyond Medicine, better citizen in this community and awareness)
- Collegiate system (community, interact with people in different disciplines
- as a doc, and a person, important to know what is going on in the world)
Passion, wouldn't mind studying anywhere, but would really want to come
back to Hong Kong.
Example of Work Experience: Communication - ANSWER
Example of Work Experience: Teamwork - ANSWER Anaesthetics ward in
QMH, inputting patient data
W/ another student also on work experience
We wanted to finish the work before our time at the hospital had ended
While it wasn't compulsory, we wanted to help out as a small thank you for
looking after us
Realising that we couldn't finish it in time, and that we couldn't work outside
of the hospital as 1) lack of system 2) patient confidentiality
We organised for days where we would come in a little earlier, or stay a bit
longer, and on days where we had other commitments, we would coordinate
and take over for each other
Example of Work Experience: Empathy - ANSWER Speaking to CRPS patient
