Background: The collaboration between Duke University and Beijing Hospital began in 1987 when Dr.Corey and Dr. Joe Sanjuay, the Chairman of Medicine at Beijing Hospital began exchanging residents between their two universities. Dr. Sanjuay, who had spent a year training at Duke, felt strongly that his staff should also train at Duke University Medical Center. As a result, 13 residents/faculty from Beijing have spent a year at Duke studying training in clinical medicine as well as research. Most of these individuals have returned to Beijing Medical Center and have become influential in their field. During the same period, over 20 Duke house staff have studied at Beijing Hospital concentrating in clinical medicine. |
Clinical Opportunities: Beijing Hospital is a large 1500 bed medical center which cares for the entire city of Beijing and surrounding areas. Residents have spent time on a variety of services including Cardiology (the Chief of Cardiology was also trained at Duke), Pulmonary, Oncology, General Medicine, GI, and others. In addition, residents have spent time in the alternative medicine department observing the effects of alternative Chinese medicine and acupuncture. |
Research: On-going research projects are part of the daily routine of the faculty at Beijing. Duke residents have routinely not been involved in these efforts, however, future initiatives are being undertaken to initiate projects between our two hospitals. |
