Learning through interdisciplinary collaboration and student-patient interactions
從跨學科合作和學生與患者的互動中學習

2021 HKU Teaching Development Grant

An interdisciplinary program was set up to promote collaboration between medical students and biomedical engineering students to address the unmet needs of visually impaired persons (VIPs). Through this capstone experience, students have enriched their understanding of common eye diseases and their impact on patients’ quality of life, identifying real-life challenges from patients’ perspective. Students also learnt about the assistive devices and services that are available for VIPs through the visits to various NGOs that serve VIPs in Hong Kong.

透過此學習計劃,醫學生和生物醫學工程系學生合作嘗試解決解視障人士仍未被滿足的需求。這次計劃讓學生們了解常見眼疾對視障人士生活質素的影響,並從視障人士角度識別了他們在現實生活所要面對的各種挑戰。同學們亦透過探訪香港多個服務視障人士的非政府機構了解到現有香港社會為視障人士提供的輔助器具及服務。
