Professionalism, Care, and Support: Our Everyday Work

Open the KFSYSCC Medical Bulletin and you keep encountering short pieces built from the same words: team, companionship, collaboration, support, perseverance, quality, listening, care, sincerity, learning, growth, respect, gratitude. You could say a house publication is bound to sound like this. Yet in my first month on the job, those words have turned into concrete actions happening all around me.

As a seasoned professional, I hope to be wise, happy, and useful. I want my ideas, skills, and experience to be both “useful” and “easy to use.” I aim to keep learning and refining my work, to deepen my judgment, and to find joy in growing together with colleagues.

When these expectations meet the Bulletin’s small stories and become daily life, I find myself repeatedly grateful to be moving forward with the team in the Office of Medical Education.

In the 35th-anniversary special issue, Dr. Kwang-Yuh Chan, Director of Diagnostic Radiology, offered this encouragement: “Trust that if you keep doing things right, in time everyone will recognize your value.”

I believe it. I see the examples our seniors set, and I know the value we must keep pursuing. It is printed on the back of our staff ID badges in our mission, vision, and core values, and it is lived out each day in how we work: keep learning, strengthen medical education, become professional and excellent administrators, support our frontline clinical partners, and care sincerely for every patient entrusted to us.
