College Life

After 2 times sat for HKDSE exam, I cannot study at university. My friend suggested me to study Higher Diploma in Medical and Health Products Management at HPSHCC. I gain the fundamental knowledge on medical and pharmaceutical sciences such as Anatomy and Physiology, Microbiology, Drug action and Use of Medicines and etc.

Not only can the programme lay a solid foundation for me as an university student, but also provide extra-curriculum activities and internships. I took the internship position in Pro-Cardio Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention Centre and I have had overseas learning programme in Chung Shan Medical University Hospital in Taiwan last summer. Through the internships, I can develop an in-depth understanding of the duties of nurses, for examples, and improve my level of expertise. Thanks to all of my lecturers, I can easily understand the lectures and get clear goals. 

Apart from the teaching of fundamental medical knowledge, this programme has given me a variety of opportunities to explore the medical field during my two years of study. For example, I joined the PingTung internship visit to Tajen University and an internship provided by Chevron in a local nursing home. My experience from both internships helped me to clarify my goal to become a nurse. Furthermore, our lecturers gave us useful advice in our studies and career planning. I am thankful to them.

兩年的醫療與保健產品管理高級文憑課程，除了學到很多有關的專業知識外，最令我不捨和感動的是認識了多位熱心教學的講師。他們極具教學熱誠，時常細心觀察和留意班上每一位學生的學習進度，並主動協助我們解決學習過程中遇到的困難。講師們教學靈活生動，經常使用不同的教學方式來提高我們的讀書興趣，令學習內容不再沉重冗長。

I felt depressed and frustrated because of my unsatisfactory DSE result. However, I am glad that I have chosen to study this program. This program provides an opportunity for me to study pharmacy, use of laboratory equipment, anatomy and physiology. Studying in HPSHCC can enrich my knowledge and be well-prepared for university study. Moreover, the teachers are passionate and patient in answering questions which help us to solve the problems in studies. They also organise different talks so we enable to understand how can we plan our further studies and career. "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger" I believe that only by working hard and being persistent can we achieve our aims and make our dream come true.

I am glad that I have studied the HD programme in Medical and Health Products Management.  The lecturers have helped me a lot which made me easier to handle difficulties from different aspects. Besides, this programe not only provides us with fundamental medical knowledge but also offers various internship opportunities. I had joined the Taichung internship programme which was a valuable experience to me. I had great memories in the past two years at HPSHCC as I met many great friends and good lecturers. This programme enabled me to be closer to my dreams.

It is incredible that I can be given an opportunity to share my experience here. This programme provides basic knowledge of health science which helps me prepare for the healthcare industry and develop my future career. In the last two years, I have taken part in the Summer Student Attachment Programme organised by Hospital Authority and the Taichung Chungshan Medical University internship training programme. These are valuable opportunites for me to accumulate out-of-classroom experience.

I felt grateful for I have studied my higher diploma programme at HPSHCC. I wanted to thank all of myteachers, student counsellors and friends for their advice and assistance. The HD in MHPM programme covers many subjects such as Sciences, Drugs, Anatomy and Physiology. Lecturers also give us advice on pathway of study or work. Besides studying, we can participate in different internship progarmmes or activities.I have joined ActiveCarePharmacy Limited as a student intern and V-circle to do voluntary community works. All of these experiences gave me a memorable school life.

I was not a hard working student in secondary school; consequently, I did not do well in the public examination. Thus studying in the university seemed like an unattainable goal. Fortunately, I enrolled in the Higher Diploma in Medical and Health Products Management at HPSHCC. The programme curriculum is practical and the lectures are interesting which has greatly aroused my interest in studying. Moreover, I have made a lot of good friends in the College. We always help and encourage one another in studying. After two years of hard work, I finally achieved my goal. I really treasured my time and memory at HPSHCC.

After I finished my high school diploma, I felt very confused and frustrated, because my DSE results could not reach university requirements. Also, the lack of education level made it difficult to find a job too. Therefore, I randomly chose this subject to study in the beginning. Before starting this program, I experienced failure in learning, and lost confidence in learning. But while studying, I found it is more interesting than I thought; I learned medical knowledge and instrument operation knowledge. This is specific knowledge that others may not know. At the same time, the program teaches interesting knowledge in biology, such as pathophysiology, anatomy and pharmacy, which are more professional. Other than knowledge, lecturers are also enthusiastic in teaching too. If we ask questions, pay attention in class and diligently review, we will be able to get good grades; so I regained my interest in learning now. Although this course is very interesting and useful, however, if the case that we want to have further studies in university, language is a very important factor, so students may need to put much effort and study the language to fulfill the basic requirements of getting into university.

The course can broaden my scope of knowledge and widen my horizon. It is important for me to develop a far broader outlook on life and have better prospects.

Time flies. My college life at HPSHCC was enjoyable and memorable. I was not sure what my plan was in the beginning. After studying for two years, I have made a lot of friends and learned much of the knowledge. I become more confident and am ready for new challenges ahead.

The HD in Medical and Health Products Management programme has helped me to lay a good foundation for the university study. It provided ample opportunities for students to learn outside the classroom. I had worked as an intern in the Centre for Genomic Science, Li Ka Shing Faculty of Medicine, HKU. Our programme lecturers were professional who gave us extra tutorials and guidance in the study. I also made good friends and had great companionship.
