The program offered the students a unique opportunity to gain first-hand experience in diverse fields of medicine, while also fostering academic and cultural exchange between the two universities. Beyond their professional training, the group also had the chance to experience Hungarian culture. On August 20, Hungary’s national holiday, Saint Stephen’s Day, the students joined cultural programs and celebrations, which offered them an opportunity to connect with local traditions and history while strengthening the bonds between the two universities.
The closing ceremony took place on August 29, when certificates were awarded to the participants. In his speech, Levente Vágó, Deputy Head of the Directorate of International Relations and Alumni Affairs, highlighted the significance of the program:
Over these days you have not only gained new experiences in clinical practice, but also built professional and personal connections that, I believe, will stay with you in the future. We hope this program has enriched your medical knowledge and given you inspiration for your careers ahead. Today, by handing over your certificates, we also celebrate your commitment, curiosity, and hard work during this program. I sincerely hope that the cooperation between Zhejiang Chinese Medical University and Semmelweis University will continue to grow and further strengthen our academic and cultural ties.
The event concluded with congratulations to the students, thus further emphasizing the importance of continued collaboration between Zhejiang Chinese Medical University and Semmelweis University in advancing academic exchange and mutual understanding.
