We’re thrilled to share the highlights from our recent Clinical Near Peer Teaching Programme!


From July to October 2024, 25 fifth-year medical students at HKUMed taught and supported fourth-year medical students in physical examination and clinical skills. Thanks to the supportive environment created by our near peer tutors (NPTs), clinical year students experienced increased interaction and collaboration with other students and felt less anxious when performing physical examinations!



With the NPTs’ guidance, students had great exposure to various clinical cases, strengthening their conceptual understanding and hands-on practice.


In our debriefing, the NPTs shared creative solutions to further improve learning experiences and that their role as tutor contributed to their own growth as well. A huge thank you to our fantastic NPTs and coordinators for making these sessions possible. We‘re excited for more sessions in the future!





Congratulations to the 2024 recipients of the Poon Li Wai Hing Award for Student in Medical and Health Sciences Education! This prestigious accolade not only recognises the unwavering dedication and remarkable contributions of the awardees to promoting education, but also highlights students’ significant influence on the academic community at large.   


We hope that the impact our awardees have made will resonate among the students of HKUMed, fostering a culture of active participation in curricular and professional development. Their work can inspire the coming generations of students to pursue more effective delivery of education through innovative means and raise the awareness of social responsibility in the student body.
