Congratulations to our Medical Students!

Congratulations to our Medical Students!

We are very proud that four of our own department's medical students were awarded the 2020 and 2021 HKSAR Innotech Scholarship at yesterday's ceremony. From left to right: Mr. Allan Chu (MBBS Class of 2025 and our MRes candidate), Dr. Suzanna Kwok (MBBS Class of 2021 and our MRes candidate), Ms Stephanie Poon (MBBS Class of 2023 and our MRes candidate), Ms Charlene Chau (MBBS Class of 2022 and our undergraduate research intern).

As a small department, we are especially grateful for our students' trust and interest in our research projects. We hope the award is a testament to the support and mentorship that we, as a department, provide to each and every student that we take under our wing! If you're interested in research, please consider working with us at HKU Ophthalmology!
