'Third medical school is taking shape'
Hong Kong's third medical school is taking shape with the groundbreaking of the Hong Kong University of Science & Technology (HKUST) Medical Education & Research Complex. The new medical school will increase local doctor training, ease manpower shortages, and contribute to a Healthy China.
The Hong Kong University of Science & Technology (HKUST) has broken ground on its Medical Education & Research Complex, marking a significant step towards establishing Hong Kong's third medical school. The new medical school will offer a four-year, graduate-entry medical programme with a combined bachelor of medicine and bachelor of surgery degree, admitting around 50 students in the 2028-29 academic year. The Government has set up three working groups to work with HKUST on implementation, advising on curriculum, finances, and more. The medical school will be built on a reserved land at Ngau Tam Mei in the Northern Metropolis, along with an integrated hospital. The eight-storey complex at the Clear Water Bay campus is scheduled for completion in mid-2028. The new medical school will increase local doctor training, ease manpower shortages, and contribute to a Healthy China.
