SKKU-SOM visits Australian Universities
Dean Kyung Soo Lee and faculty members of SKKU-SOM visited Australian universities to look for potential opportunities for collaboration. Prof. Woong-Yang Park, Prof. Sekyung Lee, and Prof. Hyewon Jang visited University of New South Wales, University of Queensland and University of Western Australia.
At University of New South Wales, the delegation met with Prof. Anthony OSullivan, the Program Authority of UNWS Medicine, and heard about the scenario-based curriculum at UNSW Medicine. SKKU-SOM found interest in the active portfolio-based student assessment at UNSW, and was able to share new ideas for curriculum advancement. Both institutions discussed possiblity of student exchange on elective programs for mutual collaboration.
At the University of Queensland, SKKU-SOM met with Prof. Nicholas Hawkins, Director of Office of Medical Education, and was introduced to unique education programs at UQ Medicine. The delegation was also led to Integrated Pathology Learning Centre where there was a wide collection of pathology speciments from the beginning of UQ Medicine.
The University of Western Australia and SKKU held a joint forum which covered not only the field of Medicine, but Social Sciences, East Asian Studies, Biomedical Engineering and Physics. SKKU-SOM faculty members introduced their recent research interests at the forum and made discussions on possible research collaboration between the researchers. The meeting with Education Centre at UWA Medicine provided guideline for curriculum remodelling and there was much to learn from the faculty development program as well.
SKKU-SOM look forward to expanding collaboratino with our Autralian partners, and hope to see actual exchanges in near future.
