"Turning Point": Evaluating the Impact of a Three-Month UK-Based Clinical Education Training Programme for Physicians from a Chinese Medical School.

Purpose: Transnational faculty development programmes are increasingly popular in medicine, although evaluation of such activities rarely consider longer-term outcomes or the impact of language training. This study attempts to fill this gap by evaluating the lasting impacts of a three-month clinical education and English language training programme at University College London Medical School, UK, for medical educators from Ningbo University, China.

Methods: In-depth, semi-structured interviews were conducted in China with 41 participants who had completed the programme between 2013 and 2018.
