Organised by the Asian Medical Students' Association Hong Kong (AMSAHK), MedStart is a 2-day medical school immersion program for secondary school students who are interested in applying to medical school. Our theme this year is Sustainable Medicine For Tomorrow. This program provided aspiring medics a glimpse into the life of a medical student, and how our knowledge relates to and impacts the world around us, while touching on how technology is impacting the healthcare sector.

 

We aim to build your understanding of medical school, your knowledge of a career in medicine, and finally, to assist you in making an informed decision about medical school in preparation for your university application process. 

 

Some of the program highlights included:

• Lectures by CUHK and HKU professors

• Admissions talk and information on both universities’ curricula

• Tutorials and problem-based learning

• Physical tours of both medical campuses and facilities

• Sharing panel from healthcare professionals and current medical students 

• Discussions on bioethical and social issues

• Medical School Escape Room

• Disaster Medicine Workshop

• Clinical Skills Training

• Practical activities on specimen labs, anatomy, histology... and more!
