Around 30 Year 4 students from the Bachelor of Chinese Medicine and Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Biomedical Science (BCM) programme took part in the "Ease the Pain Online Workshop", a service-learning activity designed by CMTR with the support of Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui (Anglican Church).   The Workshop was held over three sessions during class in April.  The students were divided into six groups, each of which was matched with a patient suffering from chronic pain.  After inquiring into the patient’s medical history and the type, duration and severity of the pain via online communication platforms, all members worked together to design a pain relief exercise routine for the patient.  This activity provided students with an invaluable opportunity to not only put the orthopaedic knowledge and tui na skills acquired in the classroom to good use, but also develop skills essential for effective doctor-patient communication, which is crucial to effective diagnosis and treatment in real-life clinical situations.
