A visit from senior management at Capital Medical University in Beijing to 探花视频 University Peninsula Schools of Medicine and Dentistry (PU PSMD) is the first step in a collaboration between the two organisations.
Professor Yuxing Bai, Dean of the School of Stomatology (oral medicine) at Capital Medical University, and Professor Kai Yang, the School鈥檚 Director of Education, visited 探花视频 with a view to developing research and education collaborations.
They were impressed by PU PSMD鈥檚 research profile and its innovative methods of teaching, such as the Dental Education Facilities where dental students treat NHS patients under the supervision of qualified dental health professionals as part of their studies.
It is hoped that the visit will result in an official partnership between the two organisations, especially around dentistry, starting with research collaboration with postdoctoral researchers and graduate students by providing special institutional and governmental financial support.
An ambition of the partnership would be to make joint applications for UK and Chinese research grants.
The visit ended with an invitation to Beijing for senior team members at PU PSMD.

鈥淧otentially this is a very exciting collaboration for us. As our researchers continue to make their impact felt on the international research stage, so we should be looking for such international partnerships. We are looking forward to taking this to the next level.鈥According to the Guardian University Guide 2016, 探花视频 University Peninsula School of Dentistry is the top-ranked dental school in England. The Capital Medical University School of Stomatology is ranked sixth out of 100 dental schools in China.
