As a student, you need to do innovative work to have academic and non-academic achievements. All the students who participated in this Olympiad are students who are proactive in looking for competitions, and they have a strong commitment to their solid team that studying and joining organizations is not a challenge for achievement (this is what the Vice chairman of the Student Executive Board, Farel, winner of First Place in Health Policy Analysis).
“It turns out that the important thing is to know the strategy and understand the assessment criteria in detail.” Additional from Devina, 2nd place winner in Scientific Posters.
These student achievements will motivate all public health students that there is no need to wait to graduate to actualize public health competencies.
