Spring 2012 President s Message Dr K H Lee Dear Fellows &, It is my greatest honour to serve as President for another year and I wish to pay tribute to last year s Council and Committee for their contribution in the affairs and business of the College and for their support given to me rendering my term as smooth as it could be. It is my pleasure to welcome Dr Ho Kam Yuen, Dr Lee Chun Kei and Dr Wong Yiu Kai who have newly joined the Council. I also wish to thank Dr Anthony S K Tse for his contribution to the College but have to leave the Council after serving continuously for 12 years. It is certainly my pride and delight to see Dr Homer Tso, of the Dental Council of Hong Kong, being awarded the Silver Bauhinia Star (SBS) at the 2011 Honours and Awards Ceremony of the HKSAR. Dr Tso is our College Member and Co-ordinator for the training of MGD. At the College Conferment on 20 November 2011, 6 specialty were conferred with FCDSHK, 12 Higher Trainees were conferred with college hip and 22 dentists were conferred with MGD. At the HKAM Conferment on 16 December 2011, 6 College Fellows were conferred with FHKAM. I would like to congratulate all of them on their accomplishment. Conjoint Intermediate Examinations and Exit Examinations were continued to be held in various specialties at the end of last year. - 1 -
Thanks to the effort of the Committee in General Dentistry, progress has been made in the collaboration with the Royal Australasian College of Dental Surgeons, to conduct training and examination for our MGD holders. An MOU to be signed with RACDS is being negotiated actively. Colleagues should look out for our announcement of the conjoint examination in the near future. It is our aim to provide strong support to our Fellows and. To fulfil this, I need to hear from you. Please feel free to contact me or any Council Member should you have any ideas or comments. On behalf of the Council, I wish you all a very prosperous and healthy year 2012. Dr K H Lee President - 2 -
