The Hong Kong College of Anaesthesiologists

Background

The initiative is designed to recognise well-rounded young fellows who have demonstrated outstanding academic achievements and made significant contributions towards the HKCA, the profession, or the community across different domains within the first 10 years of fellowship. We believe that recognising and nurturing such talent is paramount to building a better future for our community and generations to come.

Areas of achievement may include, but not limited to:

• Contributions towards postgraduate education (CME/CPD) and training of junior doctors and anaesthetists (https://www.hkmj.org/system/files/hkmj2310942.pdf)
• Contributions to HKCA or Hong Kong Academy of Medicine (HKAM)
• Academic achievements
• Contributions towards bettering patient care or service enhancement
• Personal achievements in other areas (example: community services, humanitarian missions, art, music, sportsmanship)

Presentation of the awards

A maximum of two HKCA DYFs will be awarded each year. All applications will be reviewed by a panel and the results will be announced by the end of June 2024. We will honour the HKCA DYFs at the College’s congregation, and the awardees will be nominated for the Hong Kong Academy of Medicine Distinguished Young Fellows.
