HKUMed UG Prospectus 2020

11 MBBS Focus on Medical Ethics and Humanities Ethical principles and humanitarian values are absolutely essential for doctors to meet the needs and demands of 1st century healthcare. You will learn how these principles and values underpin health care practice, as well as your professional and legal obligations, through the medical ethics and medical humanities programmes. Practicing Scientific Research Research requires you to develop intellectual and analytical skills, which can apply across a wide range of situations, and HKU actively encourages its undergraduate to undertake research. As a medical student, you will participate in Health Research 7rojects that lead to output in the format of a scientific journal. Your research can be clinic-based or laboratory-based research and it can either be part of a project with Faculty staff members or one that you initiate on your own under the supervision of a teacher during the Enrichment Year MBBS Elective. Inter-professional Learning Inter-professional education is an emerging and progressive area in modern health care where students will learn with and learn from those in other disciplines. This Faculty has taken the lead to introduce an inter-professional pathway so that medical, nursing, pharmacy students can have the opportunities to interact and to work with each other ¶ much like the real-life situation after your graduation. For students with demonstrated academic potential and a genuine interest in developing inter-professional knowledge, skills, competence and expertise, the Faculty will offer them the opportunity to enrol in intercalated programmes, e.g. with Master of 7ublic Health, with the support of scholarships. The curriculum is being constantly renewed in light of emerging knowledge and societal needs to ensure your training is fit-for-purpose and forward-looking. It is not without good reasons that many of the leaders in our field are HKUMed graduates!
