The HKSAH will have our annual social activity held on 27th September (Saturday) this year. The itinerary includes a site visit to the Youth Outreach (協青社) which is located in Sai Wan Ho. Youth Outreach was established in 1991 as a crisis intervention center for youth. It has different outreach programmes for youth and hostel for youth in crisis. The famous “Hang Out” (蒲吧) is one of the successful models and a popular place for young people to hang around.



Detailed information of Youth Outreach can be obtained from their official website: http://www.youthoutreach.org.hk/

The visit will be toured by a clinical psychologist who would introduce the service, facilities provided by Youth Outreach as well as the psychological counseling service available in the center. There will be an informal meeting with the youth workers and clinical psychologist following the tour for people to exchange experiences on how to work with youth. A simple but pleasant afternoon tea will be provided to members as part of the Society’s social gathering. The visit is exclusively arranged for members only and it is totally free of charge. As the quota is limited to 40, for those who are interested to join us in this special activity, please return the reply slip for reservation before 20th Sept 2008. First come, first serve.

SAM Adele D Hofmann Visiting Professorship
The SAM Visiting Professor in Adolescent Medicine was established in 1986 with the first award being given in 1987. The Society for Adolescent Medicine offers this annual event to provide an educational experience in Adolescent Medicine for a group of health care providers who may not otherwise have the opportunity to benefit from the Professor's expertise. In March 2003, this award was re-named the Society for Adolescent Medicine/Adele D. Hofmann Visiting Professor in Adolescent Medicine and Health. The award is financially supported by Dr. Hofmann's children, Annie Gardiner and Peter Hofmann.

Prof. Shafer Mary-Ann Shafer, M.D.
Prof. Mary-Ann Shafer, M.D. is Professor and Vice Chair of Paediatrics at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) and Associate Director of the Division of Adolescent Medicine. Prof. Shafer is frequently involved in international teaching programs and serves on national expert panels. Her areas of expertise include the common adolescent health problems, adolescent risk behaviours, reproductive health, management of STDs, eating disorders, transition care etc. She has established community based clinical and translational research, mentoring and professional development for trainees and fellows. She recently develops the first professional development course for ACGME fellows in the United States which is considered to a training model for the Fellows College.

Objectives of the Training Programme:
Adolescent Medicine is a new category of health care in Hong Kong. The current youth health care services are often disconnected. Formal training on Adolescent Medicine is also not well-developed. It would be extremely important and beneficial for us to have the Adele Hofmann Visiting Professor coming to Hong Kong to advise us on how to develop adolescent service and start adolescent training programs in our locality. We would like to have the expert advice from the Visiting Professor on the following areas:

1. To advise the multidisciplinary health care providers and youth workers on the common adolescent health needs and the ways and means to develop adolescent health service in Hong Kong;
2. To advocate the concept of interdisciplinary collaboration in providing adolescent health services in hospital and community settings;
3. To advise on the development of training curriculum on Adolescent Medicine for pediatric trainees and fellows;
4. To review and advise on the teaching curriculum on Adolescent Medicine for medical students and undergraduates;
5. To advise on the approach to adolescent health research and on how to develop research agenda including areas of interest, collaboration, support and training with an international flavor.
