Dr. Catherine Po Ling Chan obtained her MBChB from The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) in 2015 and was graduated with Distinction in the MRes in Medical Robotics and Image-Guided Intervention at Imperial College London in 2016. With a strong aspiration to become an engineer-clinician, her research interests focus on surgical innovation, including open-surgery AI annotation, large language models in surgical data science, and the development of augmented-reality technologies in head and neck surgery.

After completing her residency in Hong Kong, Dr. Chan pursued further subspecialty fellowship training in Head and Neck endocrine and surgery oncology at Stanford University, where she trained under Dr. Lisa Orloff and Dr. Christopher Holsinger respectively. She currently serves as a Clinical Instructor at Stanford University, with clinical and academic interests in head and neck endocrine surgery, transoral robotic surgery, surgical artificial intelligence, and technology-enhanced surgical education. She will be joining her alma mater as Assistant Professor in Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery in CUHK this November.
