IN THIS ISSUE

In the final issue of the year, we learn from doctors young and old about their training days – the challenges and worries, but also the joy and returns. Aside from that, we also hear from Jeremiah, a medical student in Glasgow, and Sheng Yang who went on an exchange programme at Harvard, on their overseas studying experiences.
