Chinese Medicine Talent Nurturing

The Hospital Authority (HA) has launched the “GBA Chinese Medicine (CM) Visiting Scholars Programme” since November 2022 in collaboration with the Grade A Tertiary CM Hospitals in the GBA. CM experts with ample clinical experiences are invited to come to Hong Kong as visiting scholars to provide clinical teaching and exchange. It is the first programme adopting “mentoring and shadowing” model in a public hospital to provide training on integrated Chinese-Western medicine services for CM practitioners in Hong Kong, thereby deepening exchanges between both sides and enriching clinical professional knowledge of the CM practitioners in Hong Kong.

The HA has further launched the “CM Enhanced In-patient Training Programme with GBA” in April 2024, which is the first in-patient clinical training programme in Hong Kong. Selected Hong Kong CM practitioners would acquire Mainland practicing license that enables them to practice in the clinical team of GBA CM hospital; as well as to receive the in-patient advanced clinical training, which will help expedite the establishment of a CM talent pool with in-patient clinical capabilities in Hong Kong for fostering integrated Chinese-Western medicine service development.
