The 7th Severance Unification Night was held on November 22 by the Center for Health & Unification of Korea, Yonsei Institute for Global Health. This year in particular, many faculty members and students submitted excellent productions to the video contest, and on the day of the event, the winners were announced and an awards ceremony was held. The Center for Health & Unification of Korea is an institution that plans and conducts activities and research to specifically prepare for the duties of Yonsei University Health System in the future unification of Korea through the activities of the medicine, dentistry, nursing, pharmacy, and public health planning groups. The Severance Unification Night first started in 2015 to raise interest and awareness in the field of unification of South and North Korea and health care. Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, this year's event was held in a noncontact form, just like the previous year. The event started with a greeting from Yong-beom Park, director of the Center for Health & Unification of Korea, then led on with congratulatory remarks from Dong-sup Yoon, President & CEO of Yonsei University Health System, a keynote lecture by Professor Myung-gyu Park of Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology, showing finalists’ video productions, comments from the judges, quizzes, announcement of the contest winners and awards ceremony, followed by a prize draw and then closing. In the congratulatory speech, President Dong-Seop Yoon said “Since 2014, the Center for Health & Unification of Korea has been conducting various activities such as seminars, research and education in preparation for the post-unification health and medical tasks. Our faculties and students are moving forward together toward this challenge. I look forward to your continued interest and participation in preparations for unification through this ‘Severance Unification Night’.” The video contest accepted entries until November 12, and the final winner was selected by adding up the average score excluding the highest and lowest scores among the judges, and additional points based on the number of YouTube likes. Seung-hyun Lee, 3rd year student of Yonsei University College of Nursing, who participated as the representative of the grand prize winning team, said, “Thank you for this unexpected award. I would like to thank the judges and everyone who watched our video and clicked the like button on Youtube. Thank you also to the team members who worked hard to make the video together. Also, thank you for giving me the opportunity to think and learn about ‘unification’ through this video contest, which is a topic I have never thought about before.”

1) Please introduce yourself. My name is Anastasios Kottikias. I am 36 years old. I am currently single (not married). 2) Where is your working place back in your country and what is your specialty? I am a General Surgeon. I am currently operating at the Metropolitan General Hospital in Athens, Greece. 3) How did you get to know Severance? Why did you choose Severance as your training hospital? I knew Severance because it is a world-leading hospital for robotic procedures and a high-expertise center for Upper GI malignancies. 4) How long is your training period in Korea? One year 5) Which area did you focus on during your fellowship at Severance? My area of focus is the surgical management of gastric cancer patients especially via the minimally invasive approach. My training supervisor is Professor Woo Jin Hyung. 6) What is the most impressive feature of Severance Hospital? There are many things that surprised me. First of all, when I first learned about the Severance Hospital I was impressed by the fact that it is a world-leading hospital regarding the quantity of robotic procedures, which were performed each year. Furthermore, many pioneer and opinion making doctors are offering their services here. Severance foundation and historical ties with the Western world and Christianity are also made an impression on me. Finally, its facilities and the quality of the services offered are of the highest level. 7) What are the specific contents of your fellowship program at Severance? I am currently a clinical fellow at the Gastrointestinal Department. Specifically, my fellowship focuses on the surgical treatment of gastric cancer patients. The massive amount of gastric resections which are performed per year (approximately 1000), the application of the latest and most innovative surgical procedures, as well as the implementation of minimally invasive surgical techniques in 90% of patients, with 30% being performed via the robotic approach, offer me great opportunities to learn and use this knowledge for treating patients in my country. In addition, clinical research and scientific publication is part of my program. 8) What was your first impression of Korea? I came here on September 2020, during the peak of the novel coronavirus outbreak. I have to admit that it was difficult for me at first, because of the mandatory 14-day quarantine when I first arrived and the general social distancing measures, as well as living in a country too far away from my home. As I have never traveled to Eastern Asia before, the people and environment were completely unfamiliar to me. But as time passed I have adapted and I would like to say that Korea is a lovely country to live in with really kind and very humble people. 9) What is the best memory so far during your stay here? Again, I do not want to mention only one memory or time. A combination of healthy working as well as social life are of my best interest. Training at Severance, in a high specialized center is not only daily routine, but also a life experience. Furthermore, the previously mentioned people, Professor Woo Jin Hyung and my co-fellows, are also contributing in different ways each and everyone to my general positive experience. 10) Who are you most thankful for at Severance (who helped you the most) & why? Undoubtfully, I would like to thank my Professor, Woo Jin Hyung, who accepted me as a clinical fellow under his supervision. His vision and accomplishments at his field are not only outstanding, but also motivating for my future career. I am also thankful, because I met another Greek fellow training at Severance, Dr. Pericles Koukourikis, who helped me to accommodate to Korea more easily during my first time here. Also, during the SIF-Prime Course I had the opportunity to make the acquaintance of several international fellows from all over the world and learn from their different cultures and mentality. 11) If you were to get the chance to come back, which field of clinical study would you like to focus on? When I decided to come to Severance, I did so because I wanted to focus and specialize on Upper Gastrointestinal Surgery and Robotic Surgery at a high volume and expertise center. I am thankful for my decision, thus should I have the chance to return here, I would also apply for the same clinical fellowship.

Starting from the reception team to the cleaning staffs, every member of the team works very hard and is extremely helpful. The medical and surgical facilities, especially in the operating rooms are world class. The number of robotic surgeries done every month in some departments are phenomenal. 7) What are the specific contents of your fellowship program at Severance? I am here as a clinical fellow in the colorectal department led by Professor Byung Soh Min. We have a structured training program which includes Research, Surgical training and weekly clinical presentations. Me and my co-fellows have also participated and presented topics in international conferences also. Even though as a surgeon I had a decent experience, my research history was not adequate enough. After coming here, I am more in to research works and as of now I am part of 4 research works. And regarding surgical training, the wide variety of cases and challenges we observe and assist daily were beyond my expectations. 8) What was your first impression of Korea? Ji Sung Park and Heung Min Son – 2 names that came to my mind when I heard Korea before arriving here. I am a soccer fan and I have followed the above mentioned Korean stars during their career. Nowadays, it’s all about Heung Min Son. But after coming here, I understood Koreans can impress not just in soccer, but also in every other filed.

To live in a developed country like Korea and also being able to use the technological advancements including the advanced transport systems were pure pleasure. 9) What is the best memory so far during your stay here? There has been plenty of beautiful memories that will be etched forever in me. Whenever I find time during weekends, I try to attend activities like hiking, cycling and adventure rides. One of my main intention behind such activities are to meet new people and hearing their experiences .People from all over the world join in for such activities and I learn more about their life and culture during such trips. It will be hard for me to choose one single memory because each memories are very special for me. 10) Who are you most thankful for at Severance (who helped you the most) & why? Prof . Yoon Dae Han Ever since my first email, he has always been supportive and helpful in each and every matter related to my fellowship. And if I must name one, it will be his name for sure. He has also helped me when I had personal difficulties and always guided me in taking tough decisions. Along with Dr Han, The Avison Medical Mission team led by Dr Pak and Dr Choi and the other team members - Mr. Kang , Ms. Sara and last but not the least Daniel has helped me throughout my stay. If it was not for them, I wouldn’t have got this chance of training in Korea, and I will be forever grateful to them. 11) If you were to get the chance to come back, which field of clinical study would you like to focus on? If I were to get another chance, I would like to focus on inflammatory bowel diseases- Crohns and Ulcerative Colitis. In my country, IBD is major disease and probably a big challenge for young surgeons. Therefore, if I get another chance, my aim will be to focus on Inflamatory bowel diseases. Along with IBD, I am also keen in learning how to manage complex perianal and recto vaginal fistulas.
