| Abstract | Next year will mark the debut of a new longitudinal programme in the Medical Humanities at the University of Hong Kong, whose stated vision of “deepening the experience of being human, cultivating humaneness and being a humanitarian” is ambitious but worth striving for. Through this programme, Medical Humanities will be included in the core learning in the undergraduate medical curriculum for the first time. The programme will be rolled out over six years beginning with the 2012 cohort and will eventually be represented in every year of study. Amidst the ongoing preparation for the launch, it is good to stop and take a breath, and to reflect on the journey to date: the reasons for embarking on this daunting task, the evidence to support its pursuit, the efforts to create a programme that is academically robust, the (many) obstacles encountered along the way and the key pieces that must be in place to make it happen. |
