Hong Kong Jockey Club Disaster Preparedness and Response Institute Training Fellowship Programme

The Hong Kong Jockey Club Disaster Preparedness and Response Institute (HKJCDPRI) training fellowship provides unique opportunities for healthcare professional and NGO workers to enhance their knowledge and skills in disaster preparedness and response in the practical and real setting.

Three types of training fellowship are offered:

Overseas Training Fellowship for Healthcare Professionals

The fellowship aims to bring into Hong Kong and the Asia region the most comprehensive and updated knowledge through enabling local healthcare professionals to study or work at renowned overseas training institutes or disaster-related agencies.

Non-governmental Organization (NGO) Training Fellowship for NGO Workers

The NGO Training Fellowship is a community knowledge-transfer initiative which intends to empower mid-career frontline NGO workers to assess, analyze, develop, implement and evaluate emergency assistance and health-related interventions in the context of disaster and crisis. The NGO fellow could be attached to the “Collaborating Centre for Oxford University and CUHK for Disaster and Medical Humanitarian Response” (CCOUC) at CUHK to be involved in its disaster preparedness-related projects, or work with other disaster preparedness organizations in designing the interventions. The fellowship aims to promote community engagement in disaster preparedness and response through building alliances with NGOs.

Overseas Clinical (Emergency Medicine) Training Fellowship for Healthcare Professionals

The fellowship aims to bring into Hong Kong and the Asia region the most comprehensive and updated knowledge through enabling local healthcare professionals to study or work at renowned overseas disaster simulation training institutes or disaster-accredited healthcare providers or training agencies.

Returning fellows will be required to fully engage their home institutions in the training programme, further develop the professional network, and advance the uptake of humanitarian and disaster response training in Hong Kong and throughout the region.
