The Department of Health Administration at Daegu Health College held its 7th PHA POINT Medical Terminology Golden Bell contest Thursday, drawing 100 first- and second-year students to the main building's third-floor conference room.

PHA stands for Public Health Administration. The department runs a PHA points system to encourage students to engage with their major coursework and participate in campus activities.

The event was designed to help students build foundational knowledge of their field by learning medical terms used in healthcare settings through a quiz format.

The competition featured true-or-false medical terminology quizzes and an individual round, with participants writing their answers on sketchbooks and holding them up for judges to see. A repechage round gave eliminated contestants a second chance, and the last student standing in each year group advanced.

The final Golden Bell round had two students race to answer questions correctly.

Hong Min-gyeong, a second-year health administration student, took the top prize.

Department Chair Lee Go-eun said the department would continue interactive learning activities "so students can enjoy studying their major and build a solid foundation for applying their knowledge in healthcare settings."
