Hong Kong’s most prominent medical school will revamp its training programme for medical students to give them more comprehensive training not only in public wards, but also for the first time in a new private teaching hospital and a related facility in Shenzhen.

The new programme at the University of Hong Kong’s medical school would give students exposure to the treatment of rare diseases and strengthen their training for work in the private sector in face of the overburdened public health care system, medicine faculty dean Professor Gabriel Leung said.
Under the reform, understaffed public hospitals will no longer be the only training grounds for most young practitioners.
