BLOOMINGTON, Minn., May 12 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- HealthPartners
Institute for Medical Education is hosting the first major medical
delegation of Chinese physicians ever to visit Minnesota. During their
three-month stay, the physicians will observe hospital- and clinic-based
patient care, learn about health plan and hospital administration and
observe clinical research methodology.
"We're honored that the Chongqing Bureau of Health recognizes the
quality of work we do at HealthPartners, so much so, that they've sent nine
of their top physician leaders to study our model of care over the next few
months," said Dr. Carl Patow, executive director of HealthPartners
Institute for Medical Education. "I'm certain we will learn as much from
them as they will from us."
The program is designed to promote the spread of best practices in
patient care, medical education and research internationally. It also seeks
to collect innovative ideas in healthcare and disease prevention and
facilitate worldwide networking among medical experts.
"HealthPartners integrated care model and reputation for quality
provide a great learning opportunity for the Chinese medical community,"
said Zhou Jiying, MD, PhD, chief physician of neurology at Chongqing
University of Medical Sciences. "My colleagues and I are excited to not
only learn, but contribute our knowledge to improve healthcare and benefit
