Two directors of the Stanford Faculty Development Center for Medical Teachers, professors Kelley Skeff and Georgette Stratos, were invited as special instructors for the program. Together with senior clinical faculty and teaching development experts from SUMC, they delivered a series of lectures and moderated group discussions which touched upon several key elements and critical factors regarding methods and materials for clinical teaching.

During the program the participants enjoyed a tour around the Shantou University campus and library. All participants highly appraised the three-day intensive development program, and vowed to bring their newly gained insights into practice in strive for the further improvement of clinical education at their respective colleges.

A festive award ceremony marked the successful conclusion of this third edition of the SUMC-Stanford joint clinical development program. The program forms an important part of the close cooperation that has grown over the years between the two universities.
