Inaugurated in January 2015, CUHK Centre for Bioethics plays a key role in developing a future generation of health practitioners and biomedical scientists with a sophisticated, case-based grasp of medical ethics. Our Centre’s first priority is to work with CU Medicine and its schools to create first-rate pedagogical and learning tools for bioethics in medical education. Founded in 1981, CU Medicine is one of Asia’s leading institutions in medical research and education, with an annual intake of over 700 undergraduates, including students of Medicine, and those across schools of Biomedical Sciences, Chinese Medicine, Pharmacy, Public Health, and Nursing. Since 2015, all health sciences undergraduates are required to enrol in a core curriculum in bioethics. But just as the field of bioethics is intrinsically interdisciplinary, CUHK Centre for Bioethics also serves as a hub within the university for students, scholars, and researchers who are working with bioethics from a variety of disciplines, from anthropology to media studies, psychology, and social sciences. As it builds its own capacity, our Centre also seeks ways to advance the field through its own research and international collaboration. Finally, among our Centre’s core aims is to develop a greater awareness of biomedical ethics within the Hong Kong community, not only among medical and healthcare practitioners, and social workers, but also among policymakers, business professionals, young people, families, and religious counsellors – indeed all the varied sectors affected by the changing dimensions of medical and health practice in the 21^st century.
