Welcome.
Real life is messy, people are complicated and very little in health is black and white. Through medical ethics and humanities we aim to promote and develop an appreciation of what it is to be human for the doctor and patient as they traverse suffering and healing together. Explore, share and join us in cultivating reflective healthcare professionals and an inclusive, compassionate community.
Ethos
Welcome to Ethos, a vibrant student-led platform for inquisitive minds to share and nurture ideas in the medical humanities.
As part of the HKUMed Medical Ethics and Humanities Unit (MEHU), we offer a platform for students and faculty members at The University of Hong Kong to share their works, encouraging interdisciplinary thinking and fostering engagement in the topics of medical ethics, law, and humanities.
