Biography

Professor Dorothy Chan’s research interest focuses on cancer prevention and screening, model development, symptom management for cancer patients after surgery and other related treatments. Professor Chan is a dedicated and passionate researcher who strives for excellence in transforming empirical and evidence-based knowledge into practice for better health of vulnerable groups. She has participated in several ethnic minority health-related projects to explore factors associated with their screening behaviours, and to develop health education materials as well as adopting skills such as motivational interviewing for promoting cancer screening and prevention among ethnic minorities. Besides, Professor Chan takes a significant and leadership role to expand the work to older adults and working women. She has received several presentation awards and scholarships from local and international conferences in recognition of her outstanding performance in research.

Apart from research, Professor Chan is also enthusiastic in teaching. She is eager to adopt innovative strategies in teaching to increase students’ interest in learning and facilitate their self-directed learning. Such innovative pedagogies include the development of a mobile application to support students’ learning in meeting clients’ nutritional needs and engaging postgraduate students in the development of quality teaching materials.
