(EN) “SPHPC is a wonderful family. Teachers here are not only proficient but also enthusiasm and helpful. The meaning of studying MPH for me is more than degree itself. I valued the opportunities to discuss and brainstorm at class with classmates and professor. A culture bridge is already built which could connect me with all teachers, staffs and alumnis from CUHK. I am looking forward to meeting ‘CUHKers’ again in future lives.”

Graduate of MPH (Full-Time) Postdoctoral Fellow, Center for Global Health Equity, NYU Shanghai
(EN) “I enrolled on Full time Mater of public health course in the department of health systems, policy and management in year 2020. What impressed me at first was the entire curriculum. JC SPH taught me that public health is not only about health services but rather encompasses the social determinants of health: education, economics, laws, culture, environment and so on. The subjects I took during this course added more wide coverage of knowledge in the field of public health. Such holistic perspective for health helped prepare me for the next phase of my career. Special thanks to the guidance of first-class professors and the kind support of my fellows, my learning and experience was great!”

Graduate of MPH (Full-Time) Further study: Medicine (CUHK)
(EN) “I graduated from CUHK MPH course in 2009. One of the best thing about MPH at CUHK is the variety of courses that are on offer, and the variety of faculties you can meet. CUHK has a great international network and can provide you with immense opportunities locally and aboard. Many of the MPH students will learn much about the needs in the society, the roles that they might wish to play in the future and take their path from there. Prof Emily Chan has been my mentor throughout the course and beyond, and the close collaborations between CCOUC with different local and international NGOs has proven invaluable for my personal and career development.”

(EN) 物理治療師肩負復康及預防疾病角色 基層醫療健康仍需各界攜手同心協力

(EN) 對於2021年完成香港中文大學公共衞生碩士課程的物理治療師葉曉彤(Joan)而言,今年已是踏進物理治療行業的第四個年頭。當初希望藉由康復運動及其他物理治療技巧治癒病人,惟在工作過程中漸漸發現所學知識仍難以全面幫助病人。「當我向一個有肥胖及三高問題的病人闡述長遠要多注意飲食和生活習慣才可以進一步預防關節痛症復發時,病人常常會回說:人人都有三高,不足掛齒吧。」 Joan 解釋,正因病人對疾病有著不同的謬誤,甚至於忽視,治療進度及康復狀態都會有所耽誤。「我不時想,不只專有化的治療才可以幫助病人,一些早期的基層醫療宣傳及教育也同樣重要」,這便牽涉到多專業團隊合作及跨界別配合才能真正地守護市民的健康。

(EN) 跨專業學習 公共衞生「落地」融入社區

(EN) 公共衞生非離地學術,中大賽馬會公共衞生及基層醫療學院教授李大拔教授(Albert)經常思考,如何透過政策建造更健康的社區,令每個人都得到健康生活的權利。作為中大公共衞生碩士兼讀制課程首屆學生,他透過經年研究和走進社區實戰,發現公共衞生人才單有醫療背景未必足夠,更需要其他專業範疇的參與,才可令公共衞生「落地」,進入學校、社區建設、政策和公眾教育,從而改善人的生活。Albert目前任教中大公共衞生碩士課程「健康促進及社會行為學」教學領域,同時是資深校友。回想當年英國讀醫後返港,他第一份工作是到公立醫院急症室,察覺求診者之中不少屬非緊急個案,造成緊急服務資源錯配。這情景在他私人執業期間一直盤踞心中,帶來更多思考:若可以在社區層面預防疾病,能否減少急症室的非緊急病人?在診所醫治到眼前的病人, 但更多在社區中的病人,有沒有更根本性的處理方式?因此他於1996年入讀首屆中大公共衞生碩士兼讀制課程,從社區層面尋找出路。
