Clinical Department Chairs (Ref. AC2025/013/01)
The CUHK-Shenzhen School of Medicine and its CUHK-Shenzhen Medical Centre (3,000 beds) were born out of an agreement inked by the Shenzhen Municipal People's Government, The Chinese University of Hong Kong and The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen in January 2019. At present, Shenzhen is undertaking the historical missions of spearheading the development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) as a Pilot Demonstration Area of a Special Economic Zone. Against this backdrop of growing opportunities, the establishment of CUHK-Shenzhen School of Medicine is expected to deepen the cooperation between Shenzhen and Hong Kong, upgrade Shenzhen's healthcare services, catalyze GBA’s medical and health care industries, and ultimately fulfill the "Healthy China" national strategy.
Based in Shenzhen and the Greater Bay Area, we are building a world-class medical school integrating three major functions:
* High-level medical talent training and recruitment;
