During the meeting, the two universities shared their experience in developing medical curricula aligned with the standards of the World Federation for Medical Education (WFME). They discussed curriculum design, integrated teaching, simulation-based training, how to define and measure learning outcomes, and methods for assessing student performance. HUTECH will draw on these discussions as it continues to refine its medical curriculum, with an emphasis on developing students’ medical knowledge and practical skills.

The two universities also explored inviting CGU faculty to teach and share their expertise with HUTECH medical students, either in person or online. These sessions would give students access to specialized knowledge and introduce them to teaching approaches and academic perspectives from another medical school.

Representatives from both universities discuss potential collaboration in medical education and professional development
Another proposal was a short-term study program at CGU that would include clinical shadowing at a hospital. Through shadowing, students would see how healthcare professionals carry out their daily work, care for patients, and coordinate as a team. This firsthand exposure would help students better understand clinical practice and the responsibilities of healthcare professionals.
