07 A Home to Learn, Grow and Connect Here for You The Medical Campus in Sassoon Road is home to our teaching schools and departments, research laboratories and various state-of-the-art facilities, creating a conducive learning environment to facilitate our goals. Currently, we are expanding to provide the finest training facilities for the next generation of healthcare professionals. New projects in the pipeline include a Clinical Teaching Amenities Centre (CTAC) to be built on Sassoon Road in two phases, and a new academic building on an extension site east of Sassoon Road. These new additions will provide 700 more dormitory places for medical students, a mental heal center for students, and more medical laboratories for teaching and research, as well as enhancing students’ clinical skills. Our core mission is to enrich the total learning experience for students by creating spaces. Our ambitious development plans revolve around our students’ whole-person development, which means we care about not only your academic studies but also your well-being. To foster a culture of inclusiveness, we are proud to support our diverse student body with the addition of gender-neutral facilities. In the years to come, the Sassoon Road Campus will be transformed into a state-of-the-science campus stretching from Queen Mary Hospital (QMH) on Pokfulam Road at the top, to the Victoria Road roundabout at the bottom. This reinvigorated education complex will certainly provide even greater opportunities for our students. At HKUMed, the Student Wellness Team is dedicated to promoting the growth and whole-person development of our students. The team offers a range of outreach activities and workshops with a focus on assisting our students to raise their mental health awareness so that they can have better resilience to meet the challenges of academic life. The Peer Supporter Programme, on the other hand, creates a supportive environment to help you thrive in HKUMed’s academic environment. All these are provided to students by a team of professional counsellors, psychologists, and psychiatrists. While recognising the differences of everyone's needs, the team is committed to providing personalised support to help students achieve their goals and reach their full potential. When it comes to achieving academic professional goals, every undergraduate student at HKUMed is paired with an Academic Adviser. This adviser-advisee relationship lasts for the entire period of study, with the aim of providing the necessary support for your academic, career and life pursuits. These changes empower our students to think critically, explore available options, evaluate their progress and take personal responsibility for decision-making. Dedicated advice and guidance also extend to Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery students planning their Enrichment Year or to students in other programmes undertaking overseas exchanges.
