A top adviser to the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), which is vying to set up the city’s third medical school, has said the institution could attract top scholars and greater resources despite its lack of experience in training health professionals.
Urologist Dr Leong Che-hung, chairman of the university’s Council Advisory Group and former chairman of the Hospital Authority, said last week the school’s unique strengths in nurturing physician-scientists would be appealing to those “sharing the same vision”.
