LOGO & SLOGAN
CONCEPT OF LOGO
Inside the “0” of the 30th Anniversary logo, the designer has created overlapping Chinese words for “person” and formed another oracle bone script for “follow”, which signifies walking together. The gold “person” on the left also represents the English letter “A”, and when both “persons” overlap, they form the letter “M”, which represents HK“AM”, while waved stripes represent continuity.
This logo symbolizes HKAM putting people foremost, and has been walking together with Hong Kong citizens for 30 years.
This logo symbolizes HKAM putting people foremost, and has been walking together with Hong Kong citizens for 30 years.
CONCEPT OF SLOGAN

Tripartite Medical Education Conference 2023 cum Grand Launch of the Hong Kong Academy of Medicine’s 30th Anniversary
The Academy celebrates its 30th Anniversary this year. To kick off the year-long series of celebration activities under the theme “Nurturing Specialists for 30 Years: Guarding the Health of the Community, the Academy joined with Faculty of Medicine, The Chinese University of Hong Kong and LKS Faculty of Medicine, The University of Hong Kong, for the very first time in organising a two-day Tripartite Medical Education Conference 2023 from 14 to 15 January 2023.
The Grand Launch of the 30th Anniversary was held in conjunction with the Opening Ceremony of the Conference on 14 January 2023. Prof. Chung-mau LO, Secretary for Health, Health Bureau, The Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region; Prof. Gilberto Ka-Kit LEUNG, President the Academy; Prof. Francis Ka-leung CHAN, Dean, Faculty of Medicine, The Chinese University of Hong Kong and Prof. Vivian Kwang-wen LIN, Acting Dean, LKS Faculty of Medicine, The University of Hong Kong, Council Members and over 300 guests joined the event to witness the important milestone of the Academy.

The Academy has historically organised the Medical Education Conference annually with a focus on specialist training, while the two local medical faculties have separately organised their own educational conferences from time to time. The Tripartite Medical Education Conference 2023 was therefore the very first time that the three parties collaborated to co-organise a conference, linking up the local medical faculties and the Academy to provide undergraduate and postgraduate medical education in one single platform.
“Actualising the Curriculum Continuum” was the theme of the inaugural Tripartite Medical Education Conference 2023, which brought together local and overseas medical experts to share their experience and insights of the topic. The two-day conference included plenary, symposium, debate session and workshop components, and one of the key events was the roundtable titled “Ten Years Down the Line”. Speakers included President of the Academy, Dean/Acting Dean of the two medical schools, and Dr. Tong Pat-sing KO, Chief Executive of Hospital Authority, joined together to discuss medical education, specialty training, manpower planning and many more important topics.
