Publication list on local vocational training

Y T Wun 溫煜讚

Dear Editor,

Our College has been running vocational training for family medicine for more than a decade. We have accumulated a volume of experience. Some of our members have expressed their opinions and some have done studies on the local scene. These are very valuable for those interested in our vocational training. For this reason, I compile the following list of publications on the post-graduate training in family medicine up to end of Year 2004, by our colleagues in Hong Kong. I would like to thank Dr Cindy Lam and Dr Lam T P for supplying the relevant information. Should any colleague have more information to add to the list, please kindly let me know.

Yours sincerely

Y T Wun
