Medical Programs - 2009
Four hospital leaders from the Fourth
Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University (CCPF’s most recent
mission site) completed a Visiting Fellowship program at New
York-Presbyterian and the Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital in
July. Included in this group was Dr. Sun Jian, president of the
hospital, Dr. Ling Qiang, chief of the orthopaedic department
and Dr. Qiu Jiaxuan, chief of oral and maxillofacial surgery.
The fellowship program provides an opportunity for Chinese
surgeons to observe US surgeons in their operating room,
outpatient clinics, Grand Rounds and to meet with hospital
leaders. “Education is an important part of the CCPF annual
mission to China,” said David P. Roye, Jr., MD, Chief of
Pediatric Orthopaedic Surgery at the Children’s Hospital and the
Medical Director of CCPF. “During each mission, our team of
volunteer physicians and nurses provide seminars and teach
side-by-side with our Chinese colleagues in their operating
rooms. The Visiting Fellowship program extends that education.”
One of the aspects of a US hospital that most impressed the
Visiting Fellows was witnessing teamwork at each level of the
organization. In addition, one of the surgeons remarked that he
was able to observe surgical techniques he had only seen in
textbooks.
2009 Visiting Fellows included ( l to r) Dr.
Wu Bing Hua - Orthopaedic Surgeon, Dr. Qiu Jiaxuan - Oral and
Maxillofacial Surgery, President Sun Jian - President of the
Hospital, Dr. Ling Qiang - Director of Orthopaedic Surgery
