Medic Bear

tanding just one-foot tall, he is cute and cuddly. Yes, we are talking
Sabout the Medic Bear who made his debut at the Medical Alumni
Homecoming Day. Cutting a dashing figure with the time-honoured White
Coat, symbolising professionalism and integrity, no one could but fall in
love with him. Medic Bear was snapped up at the event and part of
the proceedings will go to the Gerald Choa Memorial Fund.

Watch out for this little heartbreaker…

he is due to make an appearance again.

CAREER DEVELOPMENT FORUM 2015

FOR MEDICAL STUDENTS

ome 130 medical students from Med 3 to Med 5 attended this year’s Career Development Forum on
SFebruary 28. The forum was jointly organised by the Faculty of Medicine and the CUHK Medical Alumni
Association (CUHKMAA).

Speakers included more than 27 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, Oncology, Radiology, Emergency
Medicine to Paediatrics, Family Medicine, ENT, Ophthalmology, Neurosurgery 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 afternoon 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.
