In his address, Professor Tumwine emphasized the importance of clinical training, urging students to prioritize hands-on experience above all else. He stressed the need for future doctors to possess not only theoretical knowledge but also the practical skills necessary to excel in real-world medical settings.

Professor Tumwine further challenged the students to maintain a high standard of competence and integrity. “Protect your competence fiercely,” he said. He urged them to avoid the pitfalls of carelessness and ignorance, emphasizing the crucial role they will play in safeguarding patient well-being.

The dinner provided a platform for medical students to celebrate their academic achievements and build lasting connections with their peers and faculty. It also served as a valuable opportunity for students to gain valuable insights from a seasoned medical professional like Professor Tumwine.

“Keep the flag of Kabale University raised high,” Professor Tumwine concluded, inspiring students to become not just competent doctors but also ethical and compassionate healthcare providers.
