In 2017/18, HKOTF started to offer internship opportunities to students of the Master of Public Health (MPH) Practicum program. Students in the program were supervised by Prof. Chan See-ching, Vice-President of HKOTF. Up to 2022/23, HKOTF has participated in the Practicum program for six consecutive years and offered internship opportunity to 11 students.
During the internship period, students helped in the preparation and delivery of seminar, design and participation in organ donation promotional activities, drafting of activity proposals, and conducting research projects. The research projects in the last six years covered a variety of topics including comparative study of organ donation system in different countries, analysis of the perspective towards organ donation amongst different age groups, impact of policy changes and social events on organ donation, feasibility of opt-out system, study on cardiac death as a criteria for organ donation, and the applicability of novel incentive in organ donation etc.
