USC Urologists Lay Groundwork for USC-China Program
A team from the USC Institute of Urology recently returned from a 12-day, five-city visit to Asia to lay the groundwork for a collaborative program with physicians in China.
“The goal of this trip was to create a ‘USC-China Program’ in clinical medicine, which will enhance academic exchanges and make USC a preferred destination for Chinese patients seeking cutting-edge medical and surgical treatment,” Gill said.
More than 1,800 Chinese urologists attended these symposia to witness the USC team perform 15 advanced robotic and laparoscopic surgeries for kidney, prostate and bladder diseases.
Outcomes:
Future collaboration possibilities also are being explored, including tele-consults and e-consults, remote health monitoring, patient referrals to USC for advanced medical care and stronger relationship-building with Chinese physicians.
Physicians from China are planning to visit USC in the near future.
