Unity is strength. The Department of Forensic Medicine team can win this honor because of the hard work of each player, the guidance and encouragement of teachers and classmates, the cheering from groups of relatives and friends, and the dedication of the entire department. Although there are only 40 graduate students in Department of Forensic Medicine, they are more united and cohesive.
