First Preceptorship in Beijing

Our first preceptorship was very successful, with 20+ participants from all over China joining us on 18th October 2019 for a full day masterclass with lectures, case reports, interactive discussion sessions, workshops, and a knowledge test.

All participants were very much involved and participated actively during the course of the day and many of them joined us for dinner afterwards. We received a lot of positive feedback and we do believe that this was a very helpful and productive activity.

We were also happy to see that our masterclass generated interest in the UCARE network. In China, we currently have 3 certified centers and 4 applicant centers and several centers that are interested in applying including the Union Hospital in Beijing.

In summary, this was a very successful start of our preceptorship program and we do hope that there will be many more to follow, in China and elsewhere.
