Saved as a baby, HKU medical newbie aims to pass on ‘hope and courage’ to society

Students who scored highly on the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education (DSE) exam and gained admission to the University of Hong Kong's (HKU) medical school have expressed aspirations to combine clinical care with medical research. One student, inspired by her doctor, mentioned wanting to instill 'hope and courage' in society.

HKU admitted 184 DSE students to its medical faculty, representing about 61% of its 300 first-year spots, with most entering through Jupas or direct admission schemes.
