Our Story
The Korean UK Medical Association (KUMA) started out as a group of medical and dental undergraduate students in the UK in 2006. Since then it has grown into a strong group of doctors of different specialities with our Alumni in South Korea, Canada, Australia and beyond.
Through strong networking, KUMA has developed into an organisation that supports one another while contributing to the Korean community in the UK. In recognition of these contributions, KUMA was awarded the Presidential Citation at the 17th World Korean Day in 2023.
재영한인의사협회 (KUMA) 는 2006년 영국 의학·치과학 전공 대학생들의 모임으로 시작되었습니다. 그 이후 다양한 전문 분야의 의사들로 성장한 회원들이 현재 한국, 캐나다, 호주 등에서 활발히 활동하고 있습니다.
탄탄한 네트워킹을 통해 서로를 돕고, 영국 한인 사회에 이바지하는 모임으로 성장하였습니다. 이를 인정받아 재영한인의사협회는 2023년 제17회 세계 한인의 날 기념 유공 정부 포상에서 대통령 표창을 수상했습니다.
The event was really informative and getting the networking opportunity was invaluable.
