UK Preclinical Exchange
AMSAHK is proud to announce that we have successfully organized a pre-clinical exchange programme with King’s College London, UK in 13th – 21st February! Delegates had the valuable opportunity to visit UK and experience their medical curriculum, which included lectures and visits to hospitals. Other indispensable parts of the trip included sightseeing, a Brighton day trip, musicals, cultural night and many more. Delegates found the programme fruitful, and have made many positive comments on it!
“I’ve always wanted to go to the UK so once I saw this opportunity, I knew I had to take it, go there and meet people from different walks of life, and to learn more about different cultures as well as to experience the different medical curriculum and learning environment there!”
Agnes Wong
“There was great flexibility in the programme, and we could decide on the itinerary by ourselves.”
Ponie Lee
“We visited many places that aren’t tourist hotspots (eg. Camben Town) yet interesting, which is great since some of us had already been to London before and visited many of the tourist hotspots already.”
Noelle Ngai
“There were enlightening social & cultural activities – welcoming dinner, lectures and meals with UK medical students, watching musicals, sharing sessions, site seeing, farewell dinner etc.”
Prudence Tam
“We had Italian food for at least three consecutive days which tasted really good and were really satisfying, and I enjoyed them a lot.”
Dorothy Wong
“The most memorable experience would be the time we spent with the people from
AMSA-UK. They were very friendly and had introduced us to many interesting places there.”
Polly Yu
“This exchange was fruitful. Personally, I had fun and made lots of new friends. I was able to know more about the British cultural through watching musicals, visiting the museum etc. As for professional development, it was also educational from attending lectures, visiting the A&E department at King’s Hospital, exploring the Gordon Museum (it’s a 3 stories’ specimen room!!!). This broadened my knowledge in the medical field. I had a better insight on my future career when I chatted with the UK Med 1-5 students.”
