- Daejin University Receives 'Suitable' Status for the Establishment of a Graduate School of Medical Science
Daejin University (President Chang Suk-hwan) has received a "Suitable" rating from the Ministry of Education for the establishment of its Graduate School of Medical Science, starting from the 2026 academic year. Consequently, the university will be able to recruit 12 new students for the Graduate School of Medical Science beginning in 2026. The Graduate School of Medical Science at Daejin University aims to cultivate "medical science professionals" who can scientifically investigate problems in clinical settings and apply research findings back into hospital environments. The school will operate a curriculum focused on "Translational Research." In line with the trend of modern medicine evolving through convergence with various fields such as basic science, engineering, and Artificial Intelligence (AI), the school plans to focus on "training convergence experts" who can develop new treatments by integrating life sciences and ICT beyond simple medical knowledge. In particular, physicians with extensive clinical experience from the Daejin Medical Foundation's hospitals will participate as faculty members to maximize the synergy between medicine and basic science. The university expects that the establishment of this graduate school will serve as a "core engine for the local medical ecosystem," strengthening regional medical and bio-ecosystems in conjunction with the long-awaited goal of attracting a medical school to the Northern Gyeonggi region. It is anticipated to lay a solid foundation for the future establishment of a medical school by serving as a cradle for basic research in the medical field. Daejin University stated its plan to focus on fostering translational research capabilities, including the consideration of opening a doctoral program in the future. President Chang Suk-hwan stated, "The establishment of the Graduate School of Medical Science is part of our mid-to-long-term vision to improve medical accessibility in Northern Gyeonggi and strengthen competitiveness in bio-R&D. We will create substantial local outcomes by organically linking education, research, and clinical practice."

- Bundang Jesaeng General Hospital and Daesoon International Volunteer Association Conduct 2025 Medical Volunteer Mission in Vietnam
From November 11 to 14, Bundang Jesaeng General Hospital and the Daesoon International Volunteer Association (DIVA) carried out a medical volunteer mission in Vietnam. The volunteer team consisted of 28 members in total, including 14 physicians from Bundang Jesaeng General Hospital and 14 members of DIVA. Medical services were provided at a local health center and elementary schools in the Na Sam area of Lang Son Province, where departments such as phlebotomy, ophthalmology, dentistry, otolaryngology, orthopedics, physical therapy, internal medicine & pediatrics, and pharmacy were set up to offer essential medical care and prescriptions to local residents. Over the three-day mission, a total of 2,468 treatments were provided, including 1,505 medical consultations at the health center and 963 dental treatments for elementary school students. Due to a turnout far exceeding expectations, medical supplies were depleted, requiring the team to procure additional medicines from nearby hospitals. In addition to medical care, the team operated a free barber service to promote personal hygiene among residents and distributed hygiene kits—containing soap, toothpaste, and toothbrushes—to students who received dental treatment, contributing to greater hygiene self-reliance within the local community. A representative from Bundang Jesaeng General Hospital who participated in the mission commented, “Due to changes in Vietnamese regulations, we faced difficulties from the first day in bringing medical equipment and pharmaceuticals into the country. There were moments when medicines ran out because so many people needed treatment, and we had to search for additional supplies. However, overcoming these challenges and completing the mission successfully made the experience all the more rewarding.”
