Message from Medical Ethics and Humanities Unit
You are cordially invited to join and appreciate some shortlisted creative reflective artwork exhibition, featuring the year-end works made by year 1 medical students who reflect on their understanding on the medical journey in creative art forms. Videos, paintings, clay-work, installation, paper cutting and poem; some even use white-coat as canvas.
Medical Humanities (MH) Curriculum is a curriculum compulsory to all newly admitted medical students, aiming at enabling students to have a deeper understanding of the human condition, and to explore the person within the patient as well as the person behind the white coat. This exhibition is a part of the assessment of the MH curriculum.
Audience can cast their vote to their most favourite artwork that contributes to a prize!
All are welcome and no registration is required.
Should you have any query, please feel free to contact Mr Abel Lau at abellau2@hku.hk

(2) If you have taken a Moodle hands-on course offered by the ITS, we recommend you follow up with an e-learning Pedagogical Support Unit (EPSU) workshop and/or a Faculty of Education/ Centre for Information Technology in Education (CITE) seminar.
The EPSU of the Centre for the Enhancement of Teaching and Learning (CETL) offers pedagogically focused e-learning workshops, which leverage the central Moodle platform to enable good teaching practices. These workshops focus on teaching approaches and good teaching practices, complement the Moodle courses offered by the ITS and the Moodle seminars offered by the Faculty of Education/CITE, which tend to focus on innovative teaching practice using the new features available in Moodle.
