Apart from studying, I’ve got many more to experience here at HKUMed - being a Student Ambassador, Class rep, taking up society posts - which have all made me grow as a person. Studying medicine is never smooth sailing, but with friends and the whole community here, I am certain that we will all get through the obstacles. I am very proud to be part of HKUMed and I anticipate more to come in my medical journey! 09 Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery
