In addition to the teaching programme, student learn more advance surgical knowledge through a closer involvement in ward activities. The skill of logical thinking, deductions and application of knowledge in patient care are cultivated. Acquisition of practical skills, under the supervision of interns and medical officers, is also encouraged. A different spectrum of surgical diseases, clinical settings and culture will widen the horizons of foreign medical students. They will be assigned into local medical student group in the respective rotations.
