What is your teaching philosophy?
As a medical educator, “life affects life” is my philosophy in teaching medical students. I embrace our faculty’s mission to provide quality, student-centred learning opportunities that develop the intellectual and personal attributes of students to the fullest possible extent, thus enabling them to become competent clinicians and lifelong learners with professionalism, integrity and leadership qualities. My strongest motives are to increase students’ proactiveness, engagement and enthusiasm in learning; and ensure they are well prepared to improve the future patient’s quality of life and to meet school accreditation requirements. On the other hand, as a teacher, I believe that I still have room for improvement and effective feedback from students is important for my future development and improvement in my teaching and learning. I believe our HKU students have unlimited and unexploited potential. As a passionate medical educator, I have an innate sense of responsibility to design on-trend and innovative teaching methods that can inspire students to learn proactively, critically and logically to solve different real-life problems in the fast-changing future and especially during a pandemic.

What is the most rewarding part of teaching?
The most rewarding part is that students are proactive in discussion during seminars or teaching. Besides, they show appreciation for my teaching. Lastly, they are competent doctors after graduation.

How do you promote teacher-student rapport?
The most important thing is communication. I am proactive in talking to them during teaching, sharing my own hobbies and sports activities. Through the chat, we can develop not only rapport, but we can also know their needs and what we should improve regarding teaching and learning.
