Enlightenment from the reproductive medicine center summer internship program in Cleve-land Clinic / 中华医学教育探索杂志

ABSTRACT

The Summer internship program has been successfully carried out in the Center for Reproductive Medicine in Cleveland Clinic for six years (from 2008 to 2013). This program includes lecture, essay writing and experimental research. Until this year, this program has trained 109 stu-dents from United States and all over the world. The students have published 78 articles in SCI jour-nals. This program has a good reputation in the international reproductive medicine education area. The program provides students strong backgrounds of an internship experience, which is helpful to the students when they apply for high level medical school and residency qualification. At present, the students in China have a strong and urgent demand for the similar programs. Some high level medical schools of our country have the personnel and equipment base to carry out these programs. Medical schools can carry out similar programs in our country by using the organization and implementation experiences of Cleveland Clinic to provide high-level Chinese medical students with practice experi-ence out of the course education.
