Forum for Beefing Up Professor's Competence
Hallym University Medical Center held a 'Forum for Beefing Up Professor's Competence' at the COEX on August 31, 2008, with 350 clinical professors attending.
Professors debated actively on two major issues: 'How to Revitalize Research,' and 'How to Establish Hallym's Brand.' On the first issue, participants offered their opinions on 'The status of support and research facilities,' 'Developing Hallym's research competence,' 'Revitalizing multidisciplinary clinical research,' 'Securing high quality experts,' 'suggestions on research support programs and facilities,' and 'Cooperating with the school of basic medicine.' Regarding the brand issue, discussions focused on 'The status of HUMC's brand,' 'Hallym University's paradigm switch,' 'Establishing the quality of professors,' 'Revitalizing internal medicine,' 'Revitalizing a surgical field,' and 'activating a medical supportive field.'
HUMC is striving to keep growing, by activating research fields, establishing its brand capacity, and accommodating global economic changes. As a part of this effort, Hallym has been holding weekly video conferences to upgrade faculty competitiveness since October, 2008.
