Jane Wong, a Year 4 MBBS student at HKUMed, credits her first degree in Radiation Therapy from the University of Toronto for shaping her confidence, determination, and patient care skills. Admitted through HKUMed's Second Chance Scheme for degree holders, Jane's journey reflects the value of prior academic and professional experience in medical training.
‘I approached the MBBS programme with more determination and readiness to contribute,’ said Jane, highlighting how her first degree helped her reevaluate her interests and solidify her passion for medicine. Her clinical exposure during her radiation therapy internship in Canada was invaluable, making her more confident during ward visits and patient interactions.
