College Life

The programme teaches students with a wide range of medical knowledge. Lecturers are supportive and helpful. Students also have the opportunity to participate in overseas study tours. I participated in a study tour to Taiwan and learned about the general operations of a hospital. The programme helped me to realise my potentials and prepared my future career. The whole learninng experience was rewarding.

IHPSHCC is a place for students who wish to develop their future studies and career in medical fields.

 The Higher Diploma programme in Medical and Health Products Management has covered a broad spectrum of theoretical knowledge in medical and pharmacological sciences such as Anatomy, Physiology, Microbiology, Pharmaceutics, etc. which allowed me to adapt to the university. Although we are living in an arduous time in the pandemic, the professional lecturers nurtured us with unrivaled and witty lectures by sharing their own experiences. And I am grateful that the lecturers provided a variety of details and support about the future pathway. Thank you HPSHCC for helping me to enter the university.

After studying this programme, I have learned more about medical knowledge which is beneficial for my future study. Especially, courses such as Anatomy and Physiology, Pharmaceutics, and Drug Action & Use of Medicines had motivated my interest in studying. In addition, I wanted to thank all lecturers of this wonderful programme. They provided tutorial sessions to clarify and answer our questions in order to help us easily understand the lecture contents. Also, they were always willing to resolve my questions after class. Their support and assistance has been my motivation to study a challenging programme in the university.     

During the past two years, I have learned not only the fundamental medical and pharmacological sciences but also a lot about natural health products, medical diagnostic instruments, and so on. Besides, the College has provided us with sufficient resources, such as a Health Products Teaching Room and a Mock Clean Room, which supported me a lot in learning. The Student Development Resource Centre (SDRC) helped students who are experiencing difficulties or confusion in studies. I truly appreciate all the lecturers for their guidance and encouragement, and I have finally found my goals.

HPSHCC has provided me with different learning opportunities and activities such as internship and volunteer services. Also, the mole of studies at HPSHCC is comparable with the local university which enhances students to adapt in their future learning. Throughout two years of higher diploma, the programme curriculum covered fundamental knowledge of medical and pharmacological science, including anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology, and pharmacology. It developed my analytical and communication skills during laboratory practices. The programme not only covered the professional knowledge in the medical field, but the lecturers also gave me treasurable advice during consultation. I appreciate the resources given by the college, and I am ready to begin my life in university.

My academic pursuit in medical and health products management at HPSHCC was complemented by my engagements as a placement trainee at Taichung Chung Shan Medical University Hospital (Taiwan). Both of the studies and activities have reinforced my interests and career goal in the medical field. Moreover, I am a class representative in my programme which acquires me a sense of responsibility, confidence and leadership skills.

These two years of study with a professional holistic knowledge and pharmacy practice are very important to me to be a medical laboratory technologist in my future and also to tackle with the challenges that I will encounter in my studies.

My DSE result was not satisfactory so I decided to find another way to articulate to university by choosing to study in this programme. Affected by the pandemic, most of the lessons were switched from face-to-face to online mode. However, I think this change of teaching mode did not affect my learning because teachers effectively upload the teaching recordings after classes for our easy reference. When we encounter any difficulties, we can contact our teachers through online chatbox and email. They usually reply in a timely manner. My dream was always to become a nurse. After the two years of study in Higher Diploma, I applied for university programmes through Non-Jupas channel. The College provided lots of support, including seminars and interview workshops, which helped me a lot in articulating to my desired university programme.

My two years of study at HPSHCC was enjoyable and rewarding.  I had valuable experiences from the  summer internship at Li Ka Shing Faculty of Medicine in HKU and the study tour in Taiwan. Moreover, I was a Student Ambassador of the College and participated in various voluntary works.  I improved my communication and interpersonal skills, and strengthened my knowledge in the medical field.

I am honoured to be awarded the Service Award  and a Government Scholarship which have proven my hard work. The effort I put in these years allowed me to study the programme I like in the university.

Some people think that a higher diploma is not professional. However, I realised how blessed I am to study the Higher Diploma programme in Medical and Health Products Management. It provides me another platform to articulate to the university and helps me recognise my goals. Throughout the 2-year programme, I learnt different aspects of knowledge, which are useful for further studies. For example, Anatomy & Physiology, Pharmacology, Drug Action and so on. Through diversified learning, I have more choices to choose from university. Furthermore, all the lecturers are helpful and nice, as friends and teachers. Not only did they answer our academic questions, but also gave useful advice about further studies. Thanks for their enthusiastic teaching in the past two years.

After the public examination, I applied to HKU SPACE Po Leung Kuk Stanley Ho Community College for the Higher Diploma programme in Medical and Health Products Management. I am glad that I have had the opportunity to study at HPSHCC. During the past two years, I acquired medical knowledge in different aspects, such as physiology and drug action. Moreover, the programme structure is well-developed; it helps me to build a solid foundation on both practical and theoretical knowledge. Moreover, lecturers are very nice. All lecturers teach with heart and they are well prepared before the lectures. Thanks to all of them who have taught and supported me in these two years.

The programme taught me basic medical knowledge such as physiology and pharmacology, which is beneficial when I study related courses in the future. In addition to ordinary lectures, I can also try experiments such as pharmacy and dispensing in the laboratory through practical classes. This helped me to understand the technical contents in the lecture notes. Furthermore, lecturers always tried their best to teach us no matter during or after classes. They helped me to solve my questions on further studies too. Although there were not many face-to-face classes in the past two years due to the pandemic, I can still feel the efforts that lecturers put into teaching through online lessons.
