Short Term Training Program

SRRSH accepts applicants from many different areas within healthcare. We welcome physicians, medical technical personnel and nurses from all over the world to participate in our short term technology training program, where we can jointly probe into clinical medicine with the same target to explore state-of-the-art health care for the patients. The duration of the program typically ranges from 1 to 24 weeks depending on the need with programs offered at SRRSH. We consider applications based on the availability of English-speaking instructors for each position and, as with all other programs, on a first come, first served basis.

This program includes two sub-projects, one for observation and the other for hands-on training.

The observation project's usual training duration is 1 to 4 weeks. And the hands-on training project's usual training duration is 12 to 24 weeks. If you want to apply for the hands-on training project, you need to apply for a Chinese Temporary Medical License before you come, and at least 3 months in advance.

The basic requirements for medical personnel who come to our hospital for further education are as follows:

Overall Requirements:

(1)Physicians and Medical Technical Personnel: We are delighted to welcome professionals who hold a valid medical practice license in their country of employment.

(2)Nurses: We also extend our welcome to registered nurses who possess a current nursing license.

For those who complete their short term technology training program and fulfill the training plan according to regulations, we will award the "SRRSH Certificate".

A:

We only take medical students in the final two years of medical school. Other healthcare students follow the same principle and should be near the end of their degree.

Q:

How can I get to SRRSH after I arrive at the airport?

A:

If you arrive by air at the Xiaoshan International Airport in Hangzhou, please take the metro to the hospital. Or you can also take a taxi directly from the airport, but it will be more expensive. If you arrive by air at the Shanghai Pudong International Airport in Shanghai, it will be most economical and easy to take the high-speed railway from Shanghai to Hangzhou, and then take a taxi or metro to the hospital.

A:

Normally, Mrs. Amy Wang, the program manager, will meet you at the Center for International Collaboration (Qingchun Campus, Tower VII, Floor 4) or will come to meet you wherever you are on the SRRSH campus, and then accompany you to Tower VII. Her phone number is 0571-8600 8867 or 188 6715 3204. Please feel free to call her directly with the help of one of the staff members.

Regarding traveling during the weekends, is it safe and easy for foreign women to travel to interesting places alone?

Hangzhou also has a reputation as an extremely safe city. Detailed arrangements and travel information can be obtained upon request.
