Teacher

Dr. Yip Lo-Ming Amber is a Lecturer in the Office of University General Education (OUGE). She received her Ph.D. from the Department of Pharmacology, CUHK. She has been teaching the General Education Foundation Programme and College General Education. Dr. Yip believes intrinsic motivation is an essence of a self-directed learner. Therefore, the role of a teacher is to mobilise, maintain and enhance this innate motivation.  Apart from being a professional and passionate teacher, her research interests include medical education and peer learning, particularly on the evaluation of medical curriculum, problem-based learning, patient as a partner in training doctor-patient relationship, and peer learning. Currently, her research focuses on the evaluation of Peer Assisted Study Sessions (PASS), PASS as a reading workshop, best practices of PASS, the application of the Socratic Method in PASS, and the implementation and evaluation of online PASS. She is a certified PASS Supervisor and SI Supervisor. Since 2016, she is a co-supervisor of two Teaching Development and Language Enhancement Grants. She is a core team member of the PASS Team in OUGE. In 2021, the team received the University Education Award.
