“Faculty Education Award 2026 – Dr. Victor Sim.
‘Whether I was caring for patients as a medical doctor or teaching medical students, my philosophy has always been the same – to do what’s best for the people I’m serving.’
Congratulations to Dr. Victor Sim, Director of the Kai Chong Tong Clinical Skills Learning Centre at CUHK Medicine, on receiving the ‘Faculty Education Award 2026 – General Faculty Member’!
Dr. Sim believes that effective teaching begins with understanding students.
To help highly motivated students overcome the fear of making mistakes, he strives to create a safe and supportive learning environment where questions are encouraged, and it is perfectly okay to say, ‘I don’t know’.
To keep pace with rapidly changing medical practices, he also embraces AI–assisted learning platforms for self-study, maximising the efficiency and effectiveness of precious face-to-face clinical teaching with real patients.
For Dr. Sim, awards were never the goal, his greatest reward is seeing students grow.
He shared a touching experience of spending four weeks with ten final-year medical students preparing for a clinical exam resit.
Recognising that their struggles stemmed from exam pressure rather than a lack of knowledge, he supported them both academically and emotionally.
Helping them overcome their fear, rebuild their confidence and clinical mindset, and eventually see them succeed was an incredibly rewarding journey.
