In the prime of their life, the young medical professionals should make it count by dedicating it to improving people’s health and well-being, out of a deep compassion nurtured and inspired by the wholehearted devotion and professional expertise of their PUMCH predecessors one generation after another. Following in their steps, the new batch of youthful PUMCHers will stay true to their ideals for medicine and strive to “become medical professionals that patients can trust their health and life with” throughout their career. As PUMCH spares no effort in achieving its new ambitious blueprint of building “an all-encompassing network featuring one hospital with multiple campuses” and pursuing high-quality development as a public hospital, the young PUMCHers will definitely make their mark down the road!
