Questions & Answers

Q:

How far in advance does SRRSH need to receive my application?

A:

We prefer to receive it six months ahead of the time you are applying. Also, our acceptance policy is first come, first served.
Q:

What is your minimal educational requirement for taking a medical elective at SRRSH?

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:

Where is the Center for International Collaboration in SRRSH?

A:

It is on Floor 4, Tower VII, Qingchun Campus.
Q:

May I arrive at SRRSH during the weekend?

A:

It is our recommendation that you plan to arrive in Hangzhou during the week, as there will be no staff working in the Center for International Collaboration during the weekend.
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.
Q:

How do I check in when I arrive at the SRRSH campus?

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. (In order to do this, please borrow a cell phone from one of the friendly medical staff members so that you can contact her.)
Q:

How far in advance do I need to book an accommodation?

A:

Upon being accepted by SRRSH for your rotation, you should start to book the accommodation.
Q:

What is my financial responsibility during my rotation at SRRSH?

A:

Your elective rotation, if accepted, is free of charge. However, accommodations, meals, transportation, and anything outside of the program will be the applicant's responsibility.
Q:

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

A:

It is very popular for foreigners to travel within Hangzhou by themselves, both male and female, as well as to the surrounding regions, as the city is known as an international tourist city. Hangzhou also has a reputation as an extremely safe city. Detailed arrangements and travel information can be obtained upon request.
Q:

Do I have to pay for health insurance while I am at SRRSH?

A:

This is completely up to you. If you would like to purchase health insurance coverage for your stay here, please feel free to do so.
Q:

May I bring my relative/friend/spouse to stay with me while I study at SRRSH?

A:

If you have completed medical school (or other healthcare degree) you are welcome to bring your spouse to accompany you. For those in medical school or the equivalent, we ask that you come individually. An alternative option is finding housing for those accompanying you.
