Accident and Emergency Medicine Academic Unit
The Accident and Emergency Medicine Academic Unit (AEMAU) was established in 1995 and was the first of its kind in Asia. The unit provides clinical, administrative, educational and research excellence in Emergency Medicine.
The unit is currently led by Professor Colin Graham and we continue to advance in several key areas of research including sepsis, trauma, analgesic trials and cardiovascular disease. We continue to foster local and international collaborations with other departments and institutions and we are committed to interdisciplinary research and education.
Along with providing teaching to every undergraduate final year medical student in the Chinese University of Hong Kong, we deliver the Postgraduate Diploma and Master of Science in Prehospital and Emergency Care (PEC). Since 2005, this unique programme has provided our students with the skills, knowledge and competence to provide state-of-the-art care for patients in prehospital and emergency care environments.
The Unit has its own clinical laboratory and dedicated research facilities. We thank all our donors for their support over the years, which have been central to all the achievements we have made so far.
We invite you to get in touch and learn more about our unit and our PEC course. All are welcome to visit our offices on the 2nd Floor of the Main Clinical Block and Trauma Centre at Prince of Wales Hospital, or send any comments and questions by e-mail or telephone.
