Story summary

Hong Kong's next generation of doctors must combine clinical skills with emotional intelligence and a willingness to adapt to artificial intelligence, say medical leaders. During the Global Education Summit, Dr. Chung Kin-lai, CEO of CUHK Medical Centre, stated that being a doctor in Hong Kong will mean serving not just 7 million people, but 18 million. This shift was discussed as part of a panel on how to prepare young doctors and healthcare professionals for an increasingly complex landscape, one where AI is becoming more integrated into medical practice. The experts emphasized the need for emotional resilience, an open-minded approach to AI, and a commitment to transforming the sector. They also stressed that AI will not replace doctors, but rather reward those who can ask better questions and think critically.
