“As an alumnus who truly loves
and faithfully supports the Faculty,
many, like myself, are willing to
repay our mother school.”

t gives me great pleasure and honour to address
Ithis newsletter. I am fortunate to be one of
the people involved in the establishment of The
Chinese University of Hong Kong Medical Alumni
Association. I really cherish the good old days,
when we studied and worked together in the Prince
of Wales Hospital and the campus of The Chinese
University of Hong Kong (CUHK). The Faculty had
sheltered us and provided nourishment for our
marvellous student and career developments.
In the past three decades, we witnessed the growth and success of our Faculty. The change from a brand
new medical school to a world-class internationally renowned institution which nurtured thousands of
medical students, clinicians and scholars. Today, graduates from the CUHK contribute in various fields
such as in government and in private Hong Kong institutions; many of them holding key and authoritative
positions. Many of our graduate scholars are also international leaders in various medical disciplines.
We are so proud to have our own distinguished graduate as our Dean. Professor Francis Chan is a strong
advocate for alumni collaborations. Alumni should be encouraged to take part in various Faculty alumni
events like Homecoming Day, Summer Clinical Attachment Programme and Gerald Choa Memorial
Lecture cum Dinner. Alumni also take part in medical student recruitment interviews and undergraduate
medical student teaching. With our Dean’s support, we are going to launch a new mentorship programme
to support our medical students and junior graduates.
As an alumnus who truly loves and faithfully supports the Faculty, many, like myself, are willing to repay our
mother school. We could provide extra strength to the current capacity and create a great medical school
with virtuous traditions to pass on to our younger generation.
