INNOVATING MEDICAL EDUCATION
to make the medical school journey a fantastic one
We co-create solutions that benefit both the educators and learners in health sciences.
We undertake cutting edge medical education research and generate innovations to enhance the student learning journey in medical and health sciences.
Our research interests are:
i) E-learning and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in medical education.
ii) Qualitative and mixed-methods research in education.
Medical students are at the forefront of our lab, leading the majority of our projects. They receive training in educational research methods, and undertake self-initiated projects supported by experienced academics, generating research by students for students.
Lab Team Lead Dr Christopher See has received over 4.3 million HKD in grant funding as PI and Co-I for educational research projects.
