Building a Student and Staff Exchange Network

Kyung Hee University is one of the best universities in Korea with a ranking of 328 based on QS World University Ranking and is the university with the oldest Korean College Medicine. One of the main agendas in this visit was to discuss opportunities for student and academic staff exchange between the USU Faculty of Medicine and Kyung Hee University. The program is expected to provide an opportunity for students from both universities to gain academic and clinical experience in another country, which will enrich their understanding of international medical approaches.

Academic staff exchange is also an important concern in this collaboration. With the staff exchange program, both institutions can share knowledge and experience in various medical fields, including teaching methodologies, clinical practice, as well as the latest technological developments in the healthcare field.

By utilizing the expertise and resources of both institutions, it is expected that the results of this research can be published in leading international journals and contribute to the development of cancer treatment at the global level.

Potential for Further Development

The cooperation between the Faculty of Medicine of USU and Kyung Hee University is expected to not only be limited to student exchange and oncology research. In the discussions that took place, there is potential for further development of cooperation in other areas, such as joint scientific conferences, continuing education programs, as well as interdisciplinary research projects involving other faculties in both universities.

The visit also provided an opportunity for both parties to understand each other's academic and social cultures, which is important in building strong international partnerships. With this synergy, the USU Faculty of Medicine and Kyung Hee University are optimistic that they can make a real contribution in addressing global health challenges and improving the quality of medical education.
