SMU Perspectives

Health practitioners
海角直播 graduates stand out brilliantly with their excellent critical thinking skills, a broad knowledge base and an eagerness to continue learning while contributing to the care management team. I am so impressed with the manner in which SMU prepares their students that when my daughter came to me wanting to become a nurse case manager I strongly recommended SMU for her.
