EY was a great opportunity for me to learn about public health nutrition which was an area I have been interested in for a long time. This year, I was able to meet new friends and go explore Italy, Spain and Morocco during the holidays. I definitely learnt so much about myself this year and I am looking forward to what clinical years have to offer!

Wong Pui Kwan Service/Humanitarian Work - Internship at Operation Mobilisation, different cities I was privileged to be sailing with the Logos Hope for 4 months, experiencing a wide range of Arab cultures along the Eastern Africa and the Middle-Eastern region. I also felt honoured to be surrounded by people from 65 different nationalities, all here to celebrate our cultural diversity in harmony and love on board. It was a very humbling experience witnessing how everybody from all walks of life works very hard around the clock as we are united together for the sole purpose of serving God. Partaking in the Cataract Blindness Elimination Project in Laos has been an invaluable experience in my medical journey. Not only did it provide me with highly rewarding patient contact, it reminded me of why I went into Medicine in the first place - to care and provide relief for those in need.
