Strategic Partners At the beginning of this letter, I mentioned the ingredients for excellence – talent, cultivation and opportunity. When it comes to impact, I must add a fourth: collaboration. Whether in the hospital tending patients or in the lab making new discoveries, it is impossible to advance without collaborators and partners. This can be as straightforward as doctors, nurses and other healthcare specialists working together to improve the outcome for a patient. Or as complex as whole institutions, like HKUMed, entering formal agreements with the government to manage platforms like the GBAICTI. Just a few days ago, we hosted a symposium for members of the China Consortium of Elite Teaching Hospitals on training doctors for the fifth industrial revolution. This was well supported by our long-term and strategic partners – the China Medical Board, the Hong Kong Academy of Medicine, and the Queen Mary Hospital. A HKUMed delegation will also be visiting Beijing shortly to connect with Peking University, Peking Union Medical College and Tsinghua University. 7 THE DEAN’S LETTER
