Dear all,
After joint approval by the HKSCCM and the HKCA ICU Board, we would like to integrate the CCM Inter-hospital Grand Round into our Wed tutorial training program. That means during the week of CCM Inter-hospital Grand Round (once every two months), the Wed tutorial will cancel and all the ICM trainees are encouraged to attend the Tue CCM training session. The coming CCM Inter-hospital Grand Round will be on 21st Jul (Tue).
After the ICM exam on 20th Jun, the whole program will start on 8th Jul 2009. As there are major amendments made on the Wed tutorial timetable, all the tutors are kindly reminded of checking with the attached revised time-table. The revised time-table (Version 6) will also be uploaded on the HKCA web-site as well.
Thank you for your kind attention.
Best wishes
Anne Leung

Dr Anne Leung has finalised the timetable of the 2009 training program. The following is her announcement on 1 December 2008.
Download: Letter to all
By April 2009, it is already two years ever since we launch this training program. We have 8 new topics to go through (highlighted in brown) before we re-start the whole training program again on 22th Apr. We are glad to invite Dr YF Chan (Associate Consultant from CMC ICU) to give us two tutorials this year and they will be delivered at QEH D6 ICU.
Please note that the date of the HKCA(IC) is also fixed with the written on 8th Apr and the clinical on 20th Jun. To give everyone a break, the last two weeks in Dec will have no tutorial.
...
Once again, there are a few things to remind all the HKCA(IC) trainees:
1. For non-clinical session given by QMH/CMC tutor, it will be done at QEH D6 ICU. For the clinical session, it will remain at QMH.
2. For any changes of program, I will post up on the HKCA homepage as well as notifying all the SOTs’ and trainees. Please double check the HKCA homepage periodically if in doubt or contact me directly at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
3. The same rule still hold true and that is a minimum of 60% attendance rate is counted as satisfactory in the trainee’s Annual In-Training Assessment.
