Students from the School of Medicine, Zhejiang University visited London and Cambridge for a study tour during the 2025 winter vacation. They visited the world’s first-class institutions, like the University of Cambridge, Imperial College  London, King’s College London, University College London, etc. There, they explored cutting-edge research directions and  advancements in the medical field, gained hands-on experience of using advanced medical technologies like point-of-care  ultrasound (POCUS), and deepened their understanding of how AI has accelerated medical research innovatively.

The visit to the UK has been really rewarding for me. Not only have I acquired helpful  knowledge from the lectures, but I have also gained hands-on experience with clinical  POCUS and developed a profounder understanding of how technological advancements  influence diagnoses. In addition to the lectures, we explored the campuses and laboratories, tasting an exotic kind of academia.

From the visit, I have gained a profound understanding of the UK’s healthcare system,  finding it to be people-centred. I have also found that the models for training medical  students vary significantly across countries. During my visit, I was fortunate to meet  many outstanding professors, whose professionalism and teaching methods were truly  inspiring.
