The postdoctoral mobile station for clinical medicine of Guangdong Provincial People’s Hospital (Guangdong Academy of Medical Sciences) was approved by the Ministry of Personnel and the National Postdoctoral Management Committee in 2004. In the same year, being one of the earliest hospitals in China to establish such station, we recruited the first batch of postdoctoral researchers.
With our strong medial, teaching and scientific research strength, it has developed into a high-level station that is equipped with a scientific research support platform, a strong international cooperation culture, and advanced experimental facilities. At present, there are 98 postdoctoral co-supervisors, who recruit excellent doctors of clinical medicine, basic medicine, pharmacy, psychology, biology, biomedical engineering and other specialties to conduct scientific research. We stay committed to providing support and assistance for the platform and manpower expenditure, thereby promoting the growth of the number and quality of postdoctoral researchers. In 2021, 72 postdoctoral fellows were enrolled in the station, 1.5 times those of 2020. The number of them in the station exceeded 113, creating a record high. Notably, they have made remarkable achievements, with 13 China postdoctoral science foundation programs and 16 state-level scientific research programs in 2021, accounting for 30% of the total number of youth projects supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of our hospital. In a word, they are the pillar of our hospital in terms of scientific research.
In recent years, we have strengthened the reform and innovation of postdoctoral management. For example, we fully implemented a new clinical post-doctoral work system in 2021 and in 2022, we developed a model with research consultants that jointly recruits and trains research postdoctoral fellows. Doing so broadens the path and innovative mode to cultivate high-end medical talents, which provides a good platform for the growth of outstanding young scientific and technological talents at home and abroad. As a result, we have produced a large number of high-quality medical postdoctoral talents for China.
