Dr. Linton, US trained Head of International Health Services
It is great fun to meet new people. Our class will be the group that is coming to the school this year. Today we had the required medical exam, which other than being repetative with what we were required to previously complete to get a Visa was really quite basic. We did find that the hospital, Severence Hospital is extremely modern and totally first class. We met the American doctor in charge of the international hospital program and his staff of 20 or so Dr's, nurses etc. I feel very confident that our medical needs will be taken care of.
