Recently, six undergraduate students in Nursing, Nursing and Management with dual bachelor’s degrees, as well as two postgraduate students in nursing from our college, went to the University of Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Polytechnic University and the Macau Kiang Wu School of Nursing to participate in a summer exchange program, immersively learning about the cutting-edge nursing concepts, advanced technologies and distinctive medical service models in Hong Kong and Macao.
At the University of Hong Kong, students visited the School of Nursing of the Li Ka Shing Faculty of Medicine, where they inspected the modern teaching and research facilities on the spot, they experienced up close a series of smart teaching equipment such as high-end human body simulation systems, high-fidelity mannequins, nursing robots, AI patient simulation systems, and VR clinical teaching systems, and directly felt the intelligent and digitalized nursing teaching mode. And they visited institutions such as Hong Kong Adventist Hospital and elderly care homes in Hong Kong to comprehensively understand the core concepts and service features of the Hong Kong medical system.These activities helped broaden the students’ professional horizons and deepen their understanding of the industry from multiple perspectives: sci-tech innovation teaching, humanistic services and empathetic practice.
At the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, students studied specialized courses such as the international development trends of nursing, the clinical application of cutting-edge nursing technologies, and the high-quality construction of the nursing discipline. They also conducted in-depth visits to the virtual hospital training platform, the nursing professional laboratory, the industrial center, and the research and study club platform, and carried out on-site research at frontline medical service institutions such as nursing homes, hospitals, and ambulance stations.
At the Macau Kiang Wu School of Nursing, students listened attentively to the special sharing on “Deep Integration of Traditional Chinese Medicine Theory and Modern AI Health Management”, and conducted special academic discussions on topics such as integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine nursing and smart health management, enhancing their professional knowledge through the collision of ideas. The students successively visited the nursing training teaching laboratory, entered the elderly care center, the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department of Kiang Wu Hospital and Tong Shan Tang, and closely observed and learned about the elderly health care service model and standardized traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment process in Macao.
This summer exchange program is rich in content and highly professional, which is an important practice for the college to deepen cooperation in higher nursing education between Hong Kong and Macao. The project promotes thinking through learning and growth through action, effectively helping students keep up with the cutting-edge concepts of nursing, improve their professional skills, cultivate their comprehensive qualities, and update their career cognition. It fully demonstrates the excellent academic style and youthful spirit of our college students, who are diligent, down-to-earth, and proactive.
In the future, our college will continue to deepen exchanges and cooperation with high-level institutions at home and abroad, continuously expand the educational platform, build more high-quality channels for research and study, communication and practice, help students keep up with the cutting-edge of the industry and hone their professional skills, and focus on cultivating high-quality, internationalized and compound nursing talents that are suitable for the development of the health and medical care industry in the new era.
