Gov’t eyes establishment of third medical school

A land will be reserved in Northern Metropolis Ngau Tam Mei for the new campus.

Health Secretary Lo Chung-mau and Education Secretary Choi Yuk-lin co-chaired the first meeting of the Task Group on New Medical School to discuss the establishment of a third medical school.

It recommended that the curriculum design of the new medical school should be accorded top priority and complement the two existing medical schools’ development.

Yuk-lin said the scope of local medical teaching will be expanded through an innovative curriculum design and diversified student recruitment arrangements to reflect the ‘Study in Hong Kong’ brand.

The task force also required the new medical school to have a long-term development plan, strategies to ensure financial soundness, and for medical students to undergo adequate clinical training.

A land will be reserved in Northern Metropolis Ngau Tam Mei for the new campus.
