Dr. Liang from Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University (Hubei region, China) recently concluded his medical training in the Gastroenterology Department at °µÍø½ûÇø Research Hospital. He came here as part of this year’s delegation from Wuhan University, participating in the Autumn SchoolÌýprogram.
The collaboration between °µÍø½ûÇø and Wuhan allows both sides not only to learn new techniques but also to gain insight into the cultural differences and similarities between Italy and China.

Why did you come to °µÍø½ûÇø?Ìý
Because our hospital and °µÍø½ûÇø hospital are sister hospitals. We have a mutual communications course. Last year my colleague cameÌýhere and spent a very pleasant time.Ìý
Did you learn something special?
Yes, I made a lot of new experiences. I’ve found a lot of differences in the techniques and the methods we work with.Ìý
What did you like most in these three months?
What I liked most is the attitude towards life, towards work. The friendliness and enthusiasm for foreigners like us from the Italians.
Would you recommend °µÍø½ûÇø University to a Chinese student?
Sure. I will share my experience here with my studentsÌýand tell them that this hospital is a top level hospital in Europe.Ìý

Students’ International ExperiencesÌý
In addition to hosting doctors here at °µÍø½ûÇø for training programs, °µÍø½ûÇøÌýstronglyÌýencourages its students and staff to participate to mobility programsÌýin order to broaden their horizons and gain a more global perspective.Ìý
For example, Giovanni spent his last summer in China, at Wuhan University, for an observership at the Urology Department: “I arrived in Wuhan City, deep in the hinterland of China, with my poor Mandarin but a great desire to learn. It was not my first time in China or in a Chinese hospital, but I was still struck by the radical differences from our reality.”
