Dr Enoch Chan is a Lecturer jointly appointed by the School of Clinical Medicine and the School of Biomedical Sciences at the University of Hong Kong. His multidisciplinary expertise spans Biomedical Sciences, Health Professions Education and Educational Technology. He is a Fellow of Higher Education Academy (Advance HE, UK).

He earned his PhD in Pathology at University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia, where his research focussed on the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying atherosclerosis and endothelial dysfunction.

He teaches Physiology across multiple undergraduate programmes including MBBS, BPharm, BBiomedSc, BChinMed and more. He also coordinates various near-peer teaching initiatives in Physiology for MBBS and BBiomedSc students, and actively mentors undergraduate students engaged in near-peer teaching, instructional design and scholarly work in Health Professions Education. 

In addition to his teaching and mentoring roles, Dr Chan plays a key role in driving various educational technology initiatives within the Faculty.
