Hong Kong College of Psychiatrists

Main article: Health in Hong Kong

The Hong Kong College of Psychiatrists (Traditional Chinese: 香港精神科醫學院) is a member College of the Hong Kong Academy of Medicine (Traditional Chinese: 香港醫學專科學院). It oversees the provision of specialist training and continuing medical education in psychiatry in Hong Kong.

About

There are differences between a psychiatrist (Traditional Chinese: 精神科專科醫生) and a clinical psychologist (Traditional Chinese: 臨牀心理學家). A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders (i.e. behavioural, cognitive and/or emotional disorders), and can thus prescribe medications in treating such disorders - as well as to provide psychotherapy and other supportive counselling. A clinical psychologist is not a medical doctor - but a licensed mental health professional (who usually holds a Master's or Doctoral degree in clinical psychology) who specializes in the evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of mental disorders. S/he may provide psychological evaluation, assessment, testing, and treatment, but may not prescribe medications.

The objectives of the Hong Kong College of Psychiatrists are:

  • to promote the study and advancement of the science and practice of psychiatry and ancillary sciences and branches of medicine;
  • to further public education therein;
  • to contribute to the improvement of mental health care for Hong Kong citizens through the provision of specially trained psychiatrists.

There are 4 categories of members: Fellow, Member, Inceptor and Affiliate. In May 2004, there were 168 Fellows, 64 Members, 96 Inceptors and 26 Affiliates.
