The Li Ka Shing Faculty of Medicine is proud to present the 'Frontiers in Medical Education HKU 2007' in December 2007 to commemorate the 10th anniversary of her medical curriculum reform and to celebrate 120 years of medical education in Hong Kong. The Conference will provide a platform for leaders of medical schools around the world to review the development of medical education and share good practices that shape the trend of reform in future. It is also an occasion for the HKU Medical Faculty to showcase our achievements in medical education reform in the past decade.
