‘I was extremely honored to be selected as an APWA Traveling Fellow, a dream that I had long cherished. Thanks to the society’s careful planning and organization, I embarked on a study tour alongside two other fellows on November 23, 2023. Over the course of a month, we visited five hospitals in the Asia-Pacific region, engaging in profound exchanges and learning experiences with experts and colleagues from these institutions. I feel immensely enriched and have gained valuable insights.’
