Dear Editor,

I am delighted to receive a copy of Dr Lam Tai-pong's PhD thesis. My heartiest congratulations to Dr Lam's extraordinary accomplishment.

Dr Lam has put a lot of time and energy in completing this excellent piece of work and all of us at the College are proud of his achievement!

Dr Lam set a good example amongst family physicians and we hope others will be inspired to take up similar challenges. May I take this opportunity to thank Dr Lam for his contribution towards College activities all these years. It is only through dedicated Fellows like him that our College can continue to upgrade the standards of Family Medicine in Hong Kong.
