6月13日仁醫(yī)醫(yī)療三人團(tuán)隊(duì)拜訪了德國(guó)吉森大學(xué)附屬醫(yī)院創(chuàng)傷外科、手外科與整形重建外科主任Hei?教授。我們還見到了實(shí)驗(yàn)室El Khassawna教授及其科研團(tuán)隊(duì)。我們進(jìn)行了兩個(gè)小時(shí)的深入交流。吉森,這座僅有九萬(wàn)人口的大學(xué)城,超過一半的居民都是大學(xué)及大學(xué)醫(yī)院的學(xué)生與教職工,處處洋溢著濃厚的學(xué)術(shù)氛圍。這里誕生過X射線的發(fā)現(xiàn)者倫琴,也走出過有機(jī)化學(xué)的奠基人李比希,孕育了無數(shù)改變這個(gè)世界的科學(xué)家。到達(dá)醫(yī)院后,Hei?教授與El Khassawna教授親自到門診大堂迎接我們。我們首先來到Hei?教授寬敞明亮的辦公室進(jìn)行了閉門會(huì)議,我們介紹了仁醫(yī)醫(yī)療的整體情況及正在運(yùn)營(yíng)的人才培養(yǎng)、科研合作與客座教授項(xiàng)目。Hei?教授認(rèn)真聆聽,對(duì)我們的各類項(xiàng)目都表現(xiàn)出極大興趣,尤其希望未來能夠接收更多來自中國(guó)的優(yōu)秀博士生與訪問學(xué)者。隨后,兩位教授帶領(lǐng)我們參觀了近7000平方的創(chuàng)傷外科基礎(chǔ)實(shí)驗(yàn)大樓。這絕對(duì)是全德國(guó)骨科實(shí)驗(yàn)室的天花板。吉森大學(xué)附屬醫(yī)院不僅是提供醫(yī)療服務(wù)的臨床機(jī)構(gòu),它擁有自己的解剖研究所、生物醫(yī)學(xué)研究中心,以及這棟基礎(chǔ)實(shí)驗(yàn)科研大樓。Hei?教授介紹,大樓本身建設(shè)投入達(dá)四千萬(wàn)歐元,配備的都是世界頂尖的科研設(shè)備,而且所有設(shè)備均由科室自行籌資購(gòu)置。實(shí)驗(yàn)樓與醫(yī)院、各研究中心相互毗鄰,功能分區(qū)清晰但緊密聯(lián)通,無論是多學(xué)科科研合作,還是臨床科研轉(zhuǎn)化,都極為便利。參觀過程中,教授團(tuán)隊(duì)花了一個(gè)多小時(shí),帶我們?cè)敿?xì)了解每一間實(shí)驗(yàn)室、每一臺(tái)設(shè)備、每個(gè)科研團(tuán)隊(duì)以及目前在這里攻讀博士或從事博士后研究的國(guó)際學(xué)者們。我們看到這里的博士生和導(dǎo)師團(tuán)隊(duì)關(guān)系融洽,氛圍輕松專注。談及自己的導(dǎo)師團(tuán)隊(duì),兩位中國(guó)博士生只用了四個(gè)字評(píng)價(jià):“有求必應(yīng)?!边@棟大樓和團(tuán)隊(duì)的建設(shè),源自Hei?教授11年前接手科室時(shí)的愿景:將臨床中遇到的真實(shí)問題,直接轉(zhuǎn)化為科研課題,在實(shí)驗(yàn)室中尋找答案,再回到臨床,切實(shí)解決患者的困境??剖遗c科研樓之間短短數(shù)步,映射出轉(zhuǎn)化醫(yī)學(xué)最理想的距離,也詮釋了醫(yī)學(xué)科研的終極意義。參觀結(jié)束時(shí),Hei?教授將一枚吉森大學(xué)的紀(jì)念獎(jiǎng)?wù)沦?zèng)與我們。獎(jiǎng)?wù)抡婵逃袀惽倥c李比希兩位大師的肖像,背面為吉森大學(xué)校徽,象征著這所古老學(xué)府在物理、化學(xué)、醫(yī)學(xué)等領(lǐng)域的卓越成就,以及對(duì)科學(xué)與人類健康的深遠(yuǎn)影響。參觀期間我們感嘆,認(rèn)識(shí)他們太晚,早該將中國(guó)最優(yōu)秀的醫(yī)生送到這里培養(yǎng)。Hei?教授微笑著說:“永遠(yuǎn)都不晚?!比缃瘢瑏碜陨綎|煙臺(tái)的丁醫(yī)生已通過面試,收到了教授的邀請(qǐng)函,丁醫(yī)生今年年底即將啟程,成為中德醫(yī)學(xué)教育合作的新篇章。Hei?教授還告訴我們,2026年,他很樂意再度訪問中國(guó),與中國(guó)同道分享創(chuàng)傷外科領(lǐng)域在患者照護(hù)、科研轉(zhuǎn)化與人才培養(yǎng)方面的最新探索與深刻洞見。此次訪問,讓我們看到了德國(guó)大學(xué)附屬醫(yī)院臨床與科研無縫銜接、跨學(xué)科合作高效開展的醫(yī)學(xué)科研理想國(guó),也讓我們相信,真正改變世界的醫(yī)學(xué)教育,始終立足于對(duì)病人深沉的關(guān)懷與對(duì)科學(xué)不懈的追求。
On June 13th, the team of three from Gloryren visited Prof. Hei?, Director of the Department of Trauma, Hand and Reconstructive Surgery at Justus-Liebig University Giessen. We also met with Prof. El Khassawna from the Experimental Trauma Surgery and their research team, and engaged in in-depth discussions for two hours. Giessen, a small university town with just 90,000 residents, is home to a vibrant academic community. More than half of its population is students, faculty, and staff from the university and its affiliated hospital. This city has nurtured Wilhelm R?ntgen, the discoverer of X-rays, and Justus von Liebig, the father of organic chemistry, along with countless other scientists who changed the world. After arriving at the hospital, Prof. Hei? and Prof. El Khassawna kindly welcomed us in person in the reception hall. We first had an internal meeting in Prof. Hei?’s office, where we introduced the projects Gloryren is running, including talent training programs, research collaborations, and visiting professor projects. Prof. Hei? expressed strong interest, particularly in hosting outstanding Chinese doctoral students and fellows in the future. After the meeting, we were led on a tour of their Institute of Experimental Trauma Surgery with an area of around 7000 square meters. It’s undoubtedly one of Germany’s most advanced musculoskeletal research centers. University Hospital Giessen and Marburg, Campus Giessen is not just a clinical institution, it houses its own Institute of Anatomy and Cell Biology, Biomedical Center for Research Seltersberg (BFS), and Medical Research Center, the state-of-the-art experimental research building. Prof. Hei? introduced that the facility itself has involved an investment of 40 million euros, and it is equipped with world-leading scientific research facilities, all funded independently by the department. The research building is adjacent to the hospital and other research centers. With clearly defined functional zones that are closely connected, it is extremely convenient for both multidisciplinary scientific research cooperation and translational clinical research.? During the tour, the research team spent over an hour showing us around in detail, introducing each laboratory, every piece of equipment, each research team, as well as the international researchers currently pursuing doctoral degrees or engaging in postdoctoral research here. We observed a harmonious relationship between doctoral students and their supervisor teams, with a relaxed yet focused atmosphere. When talking about their own supervisor teams, two Chinese doctoral students summed up their experience in four words: "Responding to every request." The establishment of this building and team stems from Prof. Hei?'s vision when he took over the department 11 years ago: to directly transform real problems encountered in clinical practice into research topics, find solutions in the laboratory, and then apply them back to clinical practice to effectively improve patient care. The short distance of a few steps between the department and the research building reflects the ideal distance of translational medicine and also interprets the ultimate significance of medical research. At the end of the visit, Prof. Hei? presented us with a commemorative medal of Justus-Liebig University Giessen. The front of the medal is engraved with the portraits of two masters, Roentgen and Liebig, and the back is the university emblem of Justus-Liebig University Giessen, symbolizing the outstanding achievements of this ancient institution in the fields of physics, chemistry, medicine, etc., as well as its profound impact on science and human health. During the visit, we couldn’t help but express our regret: “We wish we had known them earlier—we should have sent China’s most outstanding doctors here for further studies long ago.” Prof. Hei? smiled and replied, “It’s never too late.” Now, Doctor Ding from Yantai, Shandong Province, has received an invitation from Prof. Hei? after an interview. Doctor Ding will depart at the end of this year, marking a new chapter in the cooperation of Sino-German medical education. Prof. Hei? also told us that in 2026, he is happy to visit China again to share with Chinese colleagues the latest explorations and profound insights in the field of trauma surgery in terms of patient care, research translation, and talent training. This visit allowed us to see an ideal state of medical research in a German university hospital, where clinical practice and scientific research are seamlessly connected and interdisciplinary cooperation is carried out efficiently. It also made us believe that medical education that truly changes the world has always been based on deep care for patients and unremitting pursuit of science.
