Dr Pauline Luk is a multi-disciplinary medical educator specializing in medical humanities, medical education, and health communication at the LKS Faculty of Medicine, The University of Hong Kong. She holds a PhD in Communication and New Media from the National University of Singapore and has taught and coordinated across the MBBS curriculum since 2018. Within the Medical Ethics and Humanities Unit and the Bau Institute of Medical and Health Sciences Education, she contributes to Medical Humanities (MH1 and MH2), interprofessional education, and problem-based learning, co-creating innovative learning activities such as game-based sessions on health inequalities, a history of medicine walking tour, and mindfulness-based workshops that foster empathy, reflection, and professional identity formation.
An experienced curriculum designer and education scholar, Dr Luk has led Teaching Development Grant projects on student-directed learning, gamification, and student–teacher partnerships, with outcomes disseminated through presentations and publications. She has mentored students in award-winning medical education initiatives, including recipients of the Poon Li Wai Hing Award for Student in Medical Education, and is a recipient of the Faculty Teaching Medal. Beyond classroom teaching, she serves as an OSCE examiner, admissions panelist, and wellness and community-building facilitator, and collaborates widely with colleagues and students across medicine, nursing, pharmacy, Chinese medicine, and global health, as well as local NGOs.
Dr Luk’s work is grounded in her extensive background in health communication and mindfulness. She previously taught public relations, event management, integrated marketing, and media relations at university level, and worked as a public relations consultant, advertising copywriter, and reporter in Hong Kong. A qualified mindfulness practitioner and educator, she is trained as a Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) teacher through the Oxford Mindfulness Foundation, a certified facilitator of “Flourishing in Medicine (Mindful Practice in Medicine)” developed by the University of Rochester, a 200-hour mindful yoga instructor, and a Singing Bowl Therapist, and has completed Level 1 Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction teacher training. She regularly conducts mindfulness and MBCT-L workshops for medical students, nurses, social workers, and administrators, integrating well-being and contemplative practice into medical education and community engagement.
