Tse Ching To

• The Chinese University of Hong Kong - Bachelor of Science in Public Health
  (UGC-funded Programme)

在課程中，學校提供了不同的實習及義工活動，令我們在這方面的知識增進了不少。在義工服務中，令我了解到現時社區醫療上的需要，學習到人與人之間相處方式，學懂了溝通的重要性及明白到現時醫療體系當中的各種不足之處。入讀此校此課程後，我對醫療這方面有一種新的體會及一種新的體驗，令我在醫療保健方面增進知識外，亦令我更容易尋找自己的興趣及未來的發展方向。

• The Hong Kong Polytechnic University – Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Applied Ageing Studies and Service Management
  (UGC-funded Programme)

在LiPACE 的這兩年，我收穫豐富，十分感謝導師專業和耐心的教導，從中使我學習到醫療保健的知識和充分體驗到醫療當中的細節。另外，導師們很用心教導我們，給予我們意見和機會，鼓勵我們努力，提供不同途徑的升學資訊和訓練，助我們在未來升學和發揮所能。最後，感謝導師們的付出。

Kwan Yiu Man

• The Hong Kong Polytechnic University – Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Applied Ageing Studies and Service Management
  (UGC-funded Programme)

我的夢想是希望成為救護員，學校的課程讓我有機會實現自己的夢想，讓我能邁向夢想進一大步。 在這兩年間我對不同疾病都加深了一定的認識，知道要如何預防。此外，也學習了一些基礎護理技巧，例如急救、 管飼餵奶、清潔傷口等等。 此外，學校也安排了不同實習機會給我們，例如外出到屋苑擺放街站，為不同老人家作一個簡單認知障礙的測試。過程需要跟老人家談話和交流， 令我更了解如何與老人家相處。這令我未來供讀應用老年學學科更加得心應手。 另外，學校學習氣氛良好， 同學之間時常討論學習進度， 在考試期間亦會一起溫習。 最後，在此也多謝各位老師的悉心教導，我才可以繼續向著我的夢想進發。

• City University of Hong Kong - Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences

在LiPACE讀書的日子，有很多老師和同學都好熱心。無論是當有小組功課時，與同學一起努力，大家相互勉勵，順利完成。又或者是面對面上課，又或者現在多了的用zoom上課，遇到不明白的問題時，又或者當複習有困難時，只要去問老師都會一一細心解答。
另外，在升學方面，我們都是第一次有很多不清楚的地方，學校會舉辦很多不同大學的升學講座藉此令我們瞭解更多Health Care可以升學的途徑。還有社區服務，例如是去康健中心幫助市民量血壓，還有社區內幫助居民做一些認知障礙的測試，這些都讓我們更了解我們以後喜歡或適合與否在Health Care的環境工作。
Health Care課程讓我受益良多，同時亦十分感謝LiPACE的老師們的支持和幫助！

Yu Wai Sim

• School of Nursing, China Medical University in Taiwan

十分有幸能夠在公開大學李嘉誠專業進修學院修讀醫療護理高級文憑。兩年的學習期間，認識了各科對人體護理的重要性及作用。學校導師的用心教導，以及與我們分享課本以外的知識，不但加強我們對學科的認知，更能學以致用。另外，學院是助我邁向人生目標的平台，畢業後，我能夠用學歷及知識於人生的舞台上一展所長。
