CU CHAMPION (Community Health And Multi-disciplinary Partnership Inter-professional Outreach Network)
Developed in 2013, Community Health And Multi-disciplinary Partnership Inter-professional Outreach Network (CU CHAMPION) is an inter-disciplinary outreach service team, which is also a service-learning program.
Since its establishment, CU CHAMPION has organized a series of outreach activities to promote medication safety and healthy lifestyle within the campus and the community. Inter-professional Education (IPE) has been introduced to students through workshops, e-learning platform and community services. In parallel with providing health education, students can gain in-depth understanding of patients, collaborate with peers from other medical professions, and enhance their skills in communicating with different service targets.

It consists of students from different disciplines who take parts in 4 functional teams, namely : Internal, External, Resource and Research, each team has it's own specialty and responsibility to organise and execute all community health education, service, and research projects within two project years' period.

CUHK Students
CU CHAMPION recruits student volunteers from all disciplines to join the community outreach service every year. They carry out basic body check-up for our service targets (elders, ethnic minorities etc.) and put what they have learnt into practice. CUHK students can also be mentors in the Champ program and guide secondary school students to learn about the healthcare issues and challenges under aging population in Hong Kong. Moreover, they carry out body check-up and spread the knowledge of medication safety to elders with their mentees.

High School Students
Comprehensive Health Advocacy and Mentorship Program (Champ) aims at providing an opportunity for a group of students, who would like to pursue Faculty of Medicine programs as their tertiary education, to learn about the healthcare issues and challenges under aging population in the society through CU CHAMPION outreach services. Meanwhile, they receive training of medication safety and basic disease management which equip them to provide instant support and care for elders in family.
