Medical Education
The Department of Ophthalmology is committed to providing exceptional clinical attachment and educational opportunities for medical students from the University of Hong Kong, as well as exchange scholars and doctors from Mainland China and around the world.
We regularly conduct continuing medical education activities, such as Ophthalmology Grand Rounds, to ensure our practices remain aligned with the latest advancements in the field, thereby upholding a high standard of care.
We take pride in our comprehensive Ophthalmology Resident Medical Officer (RMO) training programmes, conducted in collaboration with the Hong Kong East Cluster and Hong Kong West Cluster of the Hospital Authority. Notably, the Guy Hugh Chan Refractive Surgery Centre, a certified training centre for refractive surgeries, has successfully trained over 100 ophthalmologists to date, in line with our commitment to excellence in ophthalmic education and training.
