【同行十年 ‧ 攜手翱翔】中大醫學院學術生涯發展計劃（ACDP）十週年！
學術研究與教學的道路充滿挑戰與未知，初入學術界的年輕學者該如何穩步前行？
由中大醫學院特別策劃的「學術生涯發展計劃」（Academic Career Development Programme, ACDP）迎來了第十個年頭！本計劃的初衷與使命，正是為了協助年輕學者做好職涯規劃與發展。醫學院不僅提供務實「貼地」的實用錦囊，更精心搭建交流橋樑，讓志同道合的青年學者互相認識、深化跨學科合作，成為未來的科研夥伴與教學戰友。
在剛過去的星期六，第十屆 ACDP 工作坊圓滿舉行，吸引了 70 位新聘任的學者參與。回首過去十年，累計超過 500 人次參與這個平台並獲得啟發與支持！
正如 ACDP 共同召集人李民瞻教授所言： 「從事學術研究從來都不容易，尤其是面對未來的種種不確定性。這個工作坊的核心意義，就是為大家提供一個互相交流、分享心得的平台，幫助大家應對學術界的挑戰、扎根成長。」
創始召集人陳偉儀教授亦深刻分享： 「我們都知道，成功的學術生涯絕無單一公式。每位學者都有獨特的優勢、抱負與背景。我們希望這個計劃能協助各位建立更堅實的學術履歷，並找到一條充滿目標、可持續且忠於自我價值的道路。願每位年輕學者都能在此看清方向，邁出堅實的步伐。」
中大醫學院院長趙偉仁教授在致辭時，更強調了醫學院對人才的重視與承諾： 「我們的目標是幫助你們走得更遠，進而展翅高飛。這是一個非常重要的計劃，我想告訴大家：你們絕不孤單，中大醫學院極之珍視及致力培育人才，期望你們帶領醫學院開創新局！」
傳承十載，同心致遠。中大醫學院將繼續作為教職員最堅強的後盾，攜手培育下一代優秀的醫學領袖！
【A Decade of Support, Empowering Academic Growth】Celebrating the 10th Anniversary of CU Medicine’s Academic Career Development Programme (ACDP)!
Navigating the landscape of academic research and higher education is both immensely rewarding and inherently challenging. For early-career academics stepping into this arena, having clarity and strategic guidance is vital to building a sustainable, impactful career.
To address this, the Faculty of Medicine at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CU Medicine) established the Academic Career Development Programme (ACDP)—an initiative dedicated to empowering junior faculty members as they map out and advance their academic trajectories. Beyond offering practical insights, ACDP serves as a vital networking platform, bridging disciplines and bringing together like-minded scholars who often become lifelong research collaborators and teaching partners.
Last Saturday, we marked a significant milestone by successfully organising the 10th ACDP Workshop, which welcomed 70 newly appointed and academics. Over the past decade, ACDP has attracted more than 500 attendees in total.
Reflecting on the core mission of the programme, Professor Albert LI, Co-Convener of ACDP, shared: "Academia can be truly overwhelming, especially with the uncertainties that lie ahead. The whole idea of this workshop is to provide a platform to share essential insights, helping you navigate these challenges, build a strong foundation, and thrive in your academic journey."
Professor Wai Yee CHAN, Founding Convener of ACDP, echoed these sentiments, emphasising personalised professional growth: "We all know there is no single formula for a successful academic career. Each person brings unique strengths, aspirations, and backgrounds. We hope this programme helps participants develop not only a stronger portfolio but also a career path that is purposeful, sustainable, and true to their own values. It is our goal to provide greater clarity about where they are and the practical steps needed to move forward with confidence."
In his address, Professor Philip CHIU, Dean of CU Medicine, reaffirmed the Faculty’s steadfast commitment to nurturing the next generation of academic leaders: "Our goal is to help you swim further and then fly. This is an important programme, and I want to reassure our young talents: you are never alone—we always achieve greater heights together. At CU Medicine, we deeply treasure our talents, and we rely on you to lead the way forward.”
A decade of dedication, a shared vision for the future. CU Medicine remains committed to supporting our academic community and fostering the next generation of leaders in medicine and healthcare!
