It is a clinic set up on the main peninsula of Macau. It has been a presence here for more than 20 years. Within the past month, a second clinic has opened on the island of Taipa. Currently, four American physicians serve as faculty, and another physician is preparing to join them later in the fall. The residency is a four year process after graduation from medical school. It is not required, but medical school in China lacks clinical hands on experience compared to U.S. education. The model is more of a “watch the expert and copy,” no questions asked. There also are a higher number of medical school graduates than post-graduate training programs. The Hope Medical program has 6 residents in total, divided throughout the different years. So far I have had the opportunity to both see patients and precept patients with the Chinese resident doctors.
