Message from the President

In this issue of the College Newsletter, I am delighted to announce that Professor Dennis LO, Professor Joseph Sriyal Malik PEIRIS and Professor Kwok Yung YUEN (in the order of their surnames) have received the prestigious Royal Medal of The Royal Society as well as the Future Science Prize 2021 in life sciences for their contributions in the discoveries of cell-free DNA for noninvasive prenatal diagnosis and zoonotic transfer of coronavirus to human causing Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) in 2003, respectively. My heartfelt congratulations!

Under the new normal of COVID-19, all examinations in 2021 were still conducted using video conferencing technology. I would also like to thank all external and local examiners for their hard work and to congratulate all successful candidates in the College Membership Examination and Fellowship Assessment. They have added new workforce to the diagnostic services in Hong Kong.

Another issue of postgraduate education under the new normal is how to receive training without a face-to-face arrangement. The Academy recently held a Medical Education Conference to discuss the way forward on e-learning, competency-based training and continuous workplace-based assessment. Both educators and students need to acquire new skills and improve their resilience to training progress.

Dr Derek HUNG and Professor KY YUEN wrote a Topical Update in this issue of newsletter titled “Diagnosis of COVID-19”. It is a timely topic to review all the diagnostic modalities to combat COVID-19.

Last but not least, our College, jointly with Academy, has prepared promotional materials for COVID-19 vaccination including posters and videos. They are uploaded to the COVID corner of our College website and Facebook. Please feel free to share them with your friends and family.

Finally, allow me to wish you all ‘good health’ going forward !

Message from the President

In this issue of the College Newsletter, I am delighted to announce that the Genetic and Genomic Pathology (GGPath) Training Programme and all successful First Fellows of GGPath have been fully accredited by The Hong Kong Academy of Medicine and this new specialty has been listed as one of the sixty-three specialties in the Specialist Register of The Medical Council of Hong Kong. Therefore, College would like to remind all concerned Fellows about the proper quotation of this new qualification. Also, I would like to thank the joint effort of all members of GGPath Training Programme Working Group, GGPath First Fellow Assessment Team and the newly established GGPath Specialty Board for their hard work. Hopefully, our College can enroll the first batch of GGPath trainees very soon.

As President of the College, I participated in Academy of Medicine’s 27th Annual General Meeting held last December. The Sir David Todd Orator 2020 was Professor Francis CHAN with his talk titled ‘Being a Leader’. The Conferment Ceremony was conducted in the Academy Building in a very unusual way due to precautionary measures for COVID-19 with all the Fellowship recipients joining via video conferencing. Each College President announced his/her new Academy Fellows on screen.

I would like to send my heartfelt congratulations to Dr FOO Ka Chung, our new Distinguished Young Fellow, who also wrote a Topical Update in this issue of newsletter as well as all new Fellows and Members who were successful in College Examinations 2020 conducted via video conferencing during COVID-19 pandemic. I would also take this chance to thank our External Examiners, Chief Examiners, Deputy Chief Examiner and Local Examiners for their tremendous effort in making it possible for the College Examinations to be conducted as scheduled.

In the Out of the Whitecoat article, Dr LEE Kam Cheong shared with us about his fascinating bird-watching stories.

Professor Paul CHAN was recently interviewed by ‘PathWay’ of The Royal College of Pathologists of Australasia to share how Hong Kong managed COVID-19.

Finally, allow me to wish you all ‘good health’ going forward !
