Prof. Dr. Kartina Choong joined Multimedia University in November 2023, having previously held academic appointments at the universities of Central Lancashire (UCLan), Reading, Durham and Leeds Metropolitan in the UK. Her main areas of expertise, on which she has published widely, are Medical Law and Bioethics, and their intersection with religion. Her research works were selected for submission to the last 2 cycles of the UK Higher Education Providers' Research Excellence Framework audits (REF 2014 and REF2021). Her 2 articles relating to the pandemic are catalogued in the World Health Organization (WHO) Covid-19 Research Database.
She has over 20 years of teaching experience, and has lectured on LLB, LLM, GDL, MBBS and BSc (Forensic Science) programmes. In addition, she has provided training on various aspects of Medical Law to doctors, dentists, nurses, midwives, clinic administrators and lawyers. Some of these were commissioned by Health Education England, NHS Clinical Commissioning Groups, Royal College of Physician (RCP)'s Faculty of Forensic and Legal Medicine, British Dental Association and foreign universities.
She has sat on the British Medical Journal (BMJ) Ethics Committee (2018-2021) and served as a Subject Specialist for Medical Ethics and Religion for INTUTE: Arts and Humanities (formerly the HUMBUL Humanities Hub based at the University of Oxford) (2002-2010). At UCLan, she was the Deputy Vice-Chair of the university's Research Ethics Committee for Business, Arts, Humanities and Social Science, and the School of Law's Ethics Lead.
An accredited Mediator, Prof. Choong was a member of the award-winning UCLan Centre for Mediation from 2014 to 2023.

She has also been invited to judge the National Mediation Competition (UK). Her article on Mediation in the Law Curriculum was cited by Lord Neuberger (former President of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom) in 'Educating Future Mediators', a speech delivered at the 4th Civil Mediation Council National Conference in 2010.
