We had a great time during our two-week exchange to the Second Military Medical University (SMMU) in Shanghai. SMMU is not only a medical university but also a military school, where local students are physically and mentally trained to become soldiers. The SMMU students we met were very self-disciplined with a positive learning attitude and they were very attentive and focused in the classes. The military training and learning atmosphere are unique and would not otherwise be experienced by nursing students in Hong Kong. The exchange programme was a wonderful opportunity for us to learn about advances in the healthcare system by visiting different hospitals in Shanghai and also improved our knowledge about Chinese medicine. We also explored many historical places and tried delicious Shanghai cuisine with SMMU student ambassadors.
