Since its establishment in 1977, the Hong Kong College of Family Physicians (HKCFP) has come a long way. In the recent March issue of the Hong Kong Practitioner, the College’s official journal, Dr. Stephen Foo has written an editorial entitled, “Family medicine, cross road – where are we?” Dr. Foo is a Censor and a Past President of our College. He shared his experience in Collegial work and highlighted some of the primary care and family medicine training developments over the years, as well as reiterating the importance of continuing medical education and continuing professional development for practising doctors. Last but not least, he gave the readers some food for thought in terms of where the primary healthcare standard should be heading.
