Over 200 medical alumni, guests and MBBS students came together at the Run Run Shaw Hall, Hong Kong Academy of Medicine to celebrate the new year on 25 February 2025. This year, new members joined the Executive Committee and the Subcommittees of HKUMAA, further strengthening our solidarity. Dr Libby Lee, President of HKUMAA, expressed her sincere gratitude to her team and the members for their unwavering support, emphasising the importance of unity to boost the morale of the Association.
Professor CS Lau, Dean of Medicine, invited over 20 students of MBBS (Distinguished MedScholar) to participate in the dinner and exchange with the alumni. Angelina Cheng (MBBS-DMS Year 3) and Vincent Huang (MBBS-DMS Year 1) shared with guests the innovative use of EdTech in learning and their experiences of being near peer tutors under the "Student in Medical and Health Sciences Education" (SIMHSE) initiative, aimed at enhancing student engagement in teaching and curriculum development activities at HKUMed.
The evening was enhanced by captivating student performances, notably wonderful Acapella by the student-formed band Medici Cantano, and an impressive rhapsody performed by harmonicaist Brian Wong (MBBS Year 2) and pianist Wong Pak Kin (MBBS Year 2), which elevated the atmosphere to a new height. Guests were left thoroughly impressed by the talents showcased, making the event truly unforgettable.
