HKUMed UG Prospectus 2020

72 HKUMed is determined to work towards students’ growth and whole-person development. A team of professional counsellors, clinical psychologists and psychiatrists who are available on the Medical Campus to provide confidential, convenient and free clinical services to all HKUMed students. These include individual counselling, consultation, crisis intervention, diagnostic assessment, group therapy, psychoeducational programmes, and brief psychotherapy. The Team also strives to help students thrive in the academic environment, through outreach activities and workshops designed to raise mental health awareness and strengthen resilience. Under the University-wide Academic Advising System, all undergraduate students of HKUMed are paired with an Academic Adviser. This one-on-one adviser-advisee relationship lasts for the entire period of study, aiming to provide students with support in the pursuit of your academic, career and life goals to help you develop plans to achieve these goals. Through the process, our students are empowered to think critically, explore available options, evaluate the progress towards your own goals, and take personal responsibility for decision-making with the guidance of teachers and academic advisers. To cater for the special curriculum structure of the MBBS programme, you will first be taken care of by a Preceptor in Year 1 and 2 study, followed by an Enrichment Year Mentor in Year 3 and a clinical teacher as Clinical Academic Adviser when proceeding to Year 4 until graduation. These teachers of our Faculty, many of whom are graduates of our own MBBS programme and experienced clinicians, are passionate in teaching and mentorship of our students. They are committed to providing a comfortable environment for you to adapt to the distinct challenges of medical school life. Student Wellness Academic Advising
