CAREER DEVELOPMENT
FORUM 2016
round 50 medical students from Medicine Year 5 attended this year’s
ACareer Development Forum on 20 February 2016. The Forum was jointly
organised by the Faculty of Medicine and The Chinese University of Hong
Kong Medical Alumni Association (CUHKMAA).
Speakers included 15 CUHK medical alumni who, despite their busy working
schedules in the public and private sectors, took time off to share their
valuable advice on different specialties to the future young doctors. Topics
covered were wide-ranging, from Anaesthesiology, Radiology, Emergency
Medicine to Paediatrics, Family Medicine, General Surgery, Ophthalmology
and Psychiatry…to name a few.
The Forum was divided into two main sessions. The first involved a general
introduction to the different specialties by the invited speakers. The second
session was more interactive, with students and speakers participating in
a question and answer session. Besides giving students an insight into the
different specialties, the Forum also gave them an opportunity to mingle with
their future colleagues.
