Part-time Student in Master of Public Health, CUHK
Department of Paediatrics, Pamela Youde Nethersole Eastern Hospital

"The course did broaden my view and help to change my mind set from that of a clinician to that of a public health physician. It widened my knowledge and enabled me to look forward with a broader perspective. It opened a window for me to know more about different medical systems and the financial future of Hong Kong medical system. It helped me to understand different perspectives of different stakeholders with regards to medical policy, the decision making process of planning and the execution of different policies. The course also helped me to prepare the joint membership exam of the UK Faculty of Public Health and the Hong Kong College of Community Medicine. Last but not least, throughout the course, I got to know a lot of new and old friends (supervisors, tutors and fellow students). I have learned a lot and gain a lot of support from them for both study and non-study related issues. I am sure our friendship will last beyond the school-terms and in the future we will work together for a better medical system in Hong Kong."
