Welcome to the official website of the Asian Medical Students’ Association Hong Kong (AMSAHK)! On this website, you will find much information covering the scope of our work, our mission, our values, and what we have done in our over two decades of history.

 

AMSAHK is the first and largest inter-school medical student organisation in Hong Kong. Since our establishment in 2003, we have served the medical student body and the medical community as a whole diligently through the myriad of opportunities and activities we offer. With an Executive Committee that numbers 55 members across nine different departments, AMSAHK is determined to advocate for various medical topics among the population, especially medical students in Hong Kong. 

 

Through the work of the six project departments, we regularly host activities that cover the issues of human rights, medical education, public health, academic research, and sexual and reproductive health and rights. We believe that the activities and events we host can help raise awareness of issues often overlooked in society, as we channel the collective efforts of medical students to create practical social changes. Our dedication to the advocacy of medical topics fits well with our belief in the empowerment of students, aiding AMSAHK in our mission to “Serve Medical Students and the Community, Locally and Beyond.”

 

Beyond the areas of the aforementioned medical issues, AMSAHK also enjoys connections internationally with ties to our two parent organisations. As a founding member and chapter of the Asian Medical Students’ Association International (AMSA-I) and an associate member of the International Federation of Medical Students’ Associations (IFMSA), AMSAHK provides many overseas opportunities for medical students in Hong Kong in the forms of conferences, exchange programmes, online workshops, etc.

 

In the previous tenure, AMSAHK had exchange programmes for Hong Kong medical students to visit countries such as Australia, Malaysia, the Czech Republic, and many more. Our local medical students were also given the chance to meet international students who do travel to Hong Kong, who, under the companionship of our executive committee members, toured around Hong Kong to learn more about our landscape as well as the medical system here. In terms of conferences, AMSAHK also sent delegates to Japan, Finland, and Thailand to broaden the influence and social connections of Hong Kong among the international medical student community.

 

As we enter the third decade of AMSAHK, we strive to expand our services and activities for a more holistic development for medical students in Hong Kong. Our main objective as a medical student organisation is to remind that students are still powerful enough to fuel changes in society if given the opportunity and resources, which AMSAHK can provide. We hope that through the hard work of the Executive Committee, AMSAHK can continue its successes both locally and internationally.

 

I welcome you to our website to learn more about the organisational structure of AMSAHK as well as our mission and initiatives throughout the years. If you have any further questions or would like to collaborate with us, please do not hesitate to send us an email. I thank you once again for showing your support and interest in the works of AMSAHK, as we all witness the further growth of AMSAHK to fulfil its aspirations of helping medical students gather knowledge, initiate action, and foster friendships.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

Jaden Chung

President
