Dr Mei Li Khong (FHEA) is the Lecturer / Digital Education Consultant at the School of Clinical Medicine and School of Biomedical Sciences at The University of Hong Kong (HKU). Her involvement at HKU has broadened to medical education more generally, ranging from transdisciplinary projects to incorporating blended learning into the medical curriculum through modified flipped classrooms, redesigned online learning environments, and optimised educational technology.

Dr Khong is involved in multiple teaching development projects. In these projects, she is especially passionate about exploring the possibilities of student-educator partnership in teaching and learning, where students and faculty collaborate to co-design curriculum and pedagogy. She advocates using the transformative potential of student-educator partnership in shifting learning perspectives and bringing about student-centred improvements to a curriculum. She is currently spearheading the student-educator partnership initiative in curriculum development and pedagogical innovations, across the LKS Faculty of Medicine.

Her team’s overarching initiative on formalising student-educator partnerships in curriculum/pedagogy was awarded Global Bronze Winner in QS Reimagine Education Awards 2023. She is also the recipient of the Early Career Teaching Award 2022.
