From June 24 to June 28, Prof. Bähr, Director of Neurology Department of University Medical Center Göttingen and a member of the German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina,   visited Jiangmen Wuyi Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine again for a week-long visiting professorship. Together with Prof. ZHANG Ling, Party Secretary, Prof. ZHANG Guanghua, Hospital President, Prof. YU Shangzhen, Vice President, Prof. SHI Qing, Director of Neurology Department, and the team of Neurology, Prof. Bähr held a seminar on research for doctoral and postdoctoral students of all specialties in the hospital, gave an internal lecture on updates of multiple sclerosis within the Neurology Department, offered consultation for patients and internal clinical teaching for young physicians at the outpatient clinic for three days. In addition to exchanges on clinical expertise, guidance on research and internal lectures, Prof. Bähr gave a public lecture on talent cultivation on June 27,sharing his twenty-year experience and insights in recruiting, internal teaching and talent development as the Director of the department and a member of the university senate and university medical center board of directors. A wrap-up session was held on June 28 by the team of Neurology Department for Prof. Bähr’s two visits to Jiangmen Wuyi Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. In his summary, Prof. Bähr mentioned that comparing to his first visit in November, 2023, he has seen a great improvement in all aspects of the neurology team, especially the young doctors. During this week, he saw a general improvement in both skills in functional localization in the nervous system and image interpreting, which he had suggested the young doctors to strengthen during his last visit. The young doctors made elaborate preparations for case presentations, outpatient history taking and reporting, and were highly engaged in outpatient clinic and internal case discussions, showing great ambition and motivation of the young generation. Prof. Bähr highly acknowledged the development direction of the Department of Neurology led by Vice President YU Shangzhen and Director SHI Qing: To integrate traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine for clinical care, try to prove the clinical efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine with modern diagnostic equipment and experimental techniques for research, and send young and promising doctors abroad for fellowship or doctoral studies. Prof. Bähr has high expectations for Doctor CHEN Jianhua and hopes he will make the most of his time in Göttingen pursuing his doctorate, and further develop the clinical care, research and teaching of Jiangmen Wuyi Hospital of traditional Chinese medicine after he returns to China with his doctoral degree. Prof. YU Shangzhen emphasized that the team should learn more from Prof. Bähr not only in terms of clinical and research expertise, but also in terms of his noble medical ethics, care for young doctors, and concern for the development of the field of neurology worldwide.
