"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.

"Doctor, teacher, translator:" International medical students' experiences of clinical teaching on an English language undergraduate medical course in China.

Background: Like many Chinese universities, Ningbo University (NBU) has two undergraduate medical courses - one taught in Mandarin for domestic students, and one taught in English for international students. This study examines the experiences of medical students who recently completed the English language program that has a particular focus on clinical placements.

Methods: In-depth, face-to-face, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 final year medical students at NBU in April 2019.
