2024-07-02

2024 has been designated the Year of Talent Strategy at Peking University People's Hospital (PKUPH). The hospital sponsored a series of overseas programs for its staff to enhance their professional skills, enrich their global perspectives and introduce advanced medical technologies and management practices to the hospital.

In late 2023, PKUPH launched the Young Talent Overseas Program, selecting outstanding medical staff to advance their studies at renowned medical institutions abroad. Besides, the hospital has established long-term relationships with international medical institutions in academic activities and research projects.

Since its inception, the Young Talent Overseas Program has sponsored 19 applicants with strong academic potential and innovative spirit to pursue one-year study programs at prestigious medical schools, research institutes,healthcare institutions worldwide. Through these long-term studies, the young scholars are expected to facilitate international medical exchanges and collaboration, promoting the hospital's sustainable development.

Short-term overseas programs are another part of the 2024 talent strategy to strengthen the hospital’s international exchange and cooperation. Through short-term exchanges such as attending seminars and academic conferences, the doctors and scholars communicate deeply with worldwide practitioners in their professional research fields and gain insights into advanced medical progress and service concepts. This helps the hospital continually enhance its service standards and quality while increasing its global reputation.

A notable example was Vice President Yang Fan and Director Xu Junjun of the Day Surgery Center attending the UK-China Ambulatory Surgery Conference in London in March 2024 to better understand the current trends of day surgery. Besides, in May 2024, the hospital sent a group of management staff, led by Vice President Zhao Xiangyu, to attend the University of Michigan Medical School’s Global Executive Education Program in Ann Arbor.

The hospital has supported various overseas programs by providing necessary funding and implementing a comprehensive tracking management mechanism. This ensures that those studying abroad make the most of these valuable opportunities and achieve significant academic results. The hospital has maintained close contact with these personnel, keeping abreast of their learning, work, and life conditions, and providing necessary assistance.

Promoting these programs during the hospital’s Talent Strategy Year is one of the crucial measures to enhance the personnel’s professional development and advance the hospital’s medical profession. These programs not only expand the hospital’s international influence but also cultivate a group of young innovative talents with global vision, laying a solid foundation for elevating the hospital’s strength in medical service, education and research achievements to a new level.
