【 Emphases in class 】
I choose the themes of “I often hear it, but I’ve never used it,” and “I use it, but I don’t know the detail.” I emphasized hands-on activities using a head. After the lecture and practical, I hope that students think “I know it!” and “I’ve done it!”

【 Messages to the students 】
It was a great honor for me. I really thank librarians in KU Medical Library, lecturers, and staffs and TAs in Health Informatics. Science and technology are advancing rapidly. We never stop learning.
