We had a wonderful two-week exchange visit to the Capital Medical University in Beijing, where we enjoyed a golden opportunity to enrich our knowledge and explore.

Our visit took us to different hospitals including Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, Beijing Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, Desheng Community Health Care Center, etc. We learned much about their healthcare system and how to integrate Chinese-Western medicine into that system. We also admired that the nurses were passionate about caring for their patients when we visited the specialist ward. They were a good role model to us.

We had many chances to share insights with local students on how to provide better care to patients and to exchange knowledge regarding the healthcare systems in Hong Kong and China. We also acquired theoretical nursing knowledge and practical skills through problem-based learning and simulation lab activities. In addition, teachers and students very kindly recommended many sightseeing locations and traditional food in Beijing that helped us to discover more about the city.
