「曲教授是『一代宗師』。」港大臨床醫學學院矯形及創傷外科學系臨床助理教授傅俊謙Henry開首便這樣形容他的師傅 — — 港大臨床醫學學院矯形及創傷外科學系臨床教授曲廣運。曲教授在訪問中多次提及﹕「我希望年輕一輩的醫生比當年的自己更出色。」的而且確，這就是「一代宗師」的氣魄。一代宗師，責在傳承。年輕一代要出頭，才能薪火相傳，生生不息。 今集「良師醫友」就讓曲教授與傅醫生分享一下他們的故事。 由「師徒」到「拍檔」 傅醫生還是醫科生時，已對曲教授的課堂印象十分深刻。曲教授捨棄以往「老師講，學生聽」的單向教學模式，在教導臨床技巧的課堂時，不會限於紙上談兵，示範過後便會讓學生親身嘗試，給予學生機會自主學習。「我認為我們的身份不應是教師，而是引導者，引導學生學習。」傅醫生認為「教授教學甚具氣勢，講解清晰，一語中的，不用過多解釋，令人印象深刻。」這亦是傅醫生對曲教授「一代宗師」印象的由來。傅醫生亦因此對骨科產生濃厚興趣，並主動向曲教授表達了這個想法。

2021年接任港大醫學院婦產科學系系主任一職的陳嘉倫醫生，憶述當年因機緣巧合才踏上婦產科之路。二十年前，陳醫生在倫敦聖佐治醫院急症室開始她的第一份工作，當時她需要跟不同專科的醫生合作，讓她開始慢慢思考自己應該選擇哪一個專科。有一天，有孕婦因流產大量出血而來到急症室求醫，一位婦產科醫生應召到場支援。這名醫生不單反應迅速，神態自若地進行處理，對待孕婦的態度亦十分溫柔，讓陳醫生留下了深刻的印象。 二十年後，陳嘉倫醫生接任婦產科學系系主任，她希望鼓勵團隊能像那位倫敦醫生一樣體現人情味與醫者仁心。 以下就讓我們了解一下這位卵巢癌專家對婦產科學系的看法與願景。 可以分享一下你成為婦產科學系系主任的經過嗎？ 老實說，我當初沒有想過成為婦產科學系系主任。 我在2002 年以駐院醫生身份加入這個學系，完成普通婦科培訓後，專注婦科腫瘤學，專責治療癌症患者。我慢慢提升自己的技能，在這個專科累積越來越多的經驗。 瑪麗醫院是港大醫學院的教學醫院，所以我們會接觸到很多教學活動，與此同時我亦參與了不少研究。婦產科是一個臨床專科，所以很多研究都是基於臨床數據，並以實際患者為對象的臨床研究。而幸運地，我們能夠擁有自己的實驗室，去進行基礎科學研究。
