In October 2010, the Academy Council adopted a “Position Paper in Postgraduate Medical Education” prepared by the Education Committee. Following the adoption of this Position Paper, the Academy Council agreed that a simulation center should be established at the Academy to provide training for trainees, as well as for Fellows who may wish to learn novel procedures which they have not been taught before. The establishment of a simulation center at the Academy would thus facilitate update of knowledge for Fellows, especially those who are in private practice and not able to gain access to simulation facilities in other institutions.

During the Ceremony, Prof. Gilberto Ka-kit Leung delivered a keynote speech focusing on the future of HKJC ILCM and its new role within the Hong Kong Academy of Medicine. Two pivotal areas of advancement were highlighted. Firstly, the proposal to integrate Extended Reality (XR) technology, such as Microsoft HoloLens, into medical education. Secondly, the recognition of the significant impact that the incorporation of AI technology into medical training can have on diagnostic accuracy, treatment planning, and patient care. Through the implementation of these innovative initiatives, the aim is to revolutionize medical training, enhance patient care, and shape the future of healthcare in Hong Kong. We eagerly anticipate these advancements.
