On June 13, Professor Wang Wenru, a scholar from the National University of Singapore (NUS), visited our college for academic exchange. President Cai Fuman, Vice President Dong Chaoqun, faculty members, as well as teachers from the Teaching Affairs Office of the School of Nursing attended the exchange meeting.

At the meeting, President Cai Fuman extended a warm welcome to Professor Wang Wenru. He briefed her on the college’s development, faculty team, teaching resources, talent cultivation and international cooperation. He pointed out that the college adheres to an open-running philosophy, actively establishes cooperative relations with overseas universities and educational & research institutions, expands international exchange and cooperation platforms through multiple channels, broadens the international horizons of teachers and students, and promotes the college’s high-quality internationalization.

Professor Wang Wenru introduced the 5 development directions of the nursing discipline at NUS, including chronic disease and long-term care, educational innovation, geriatric health care, patient safety, quality nursing, and women’s and children’s health care. She expressed her welcome to short-term curriculum exchanges and scientific research collaborations between nursing faculty and students of the two institutions.

In addition, Professor Wang Wenru delivered a wonderful lecture to over 30 teachers and students at Room 6A202, Tongji Building.

Taking "Singapore Community Intervention Programs for Aging Promotion" as the starting point, Professor Wang delivered a keynote speech focusing on Singapore’s healthcare system, nurse training system, senior care programs and nursing scientific research. She pointed out that due to the severe aging population and chronic disease situation in Singapore, the government strongly supports a home-centered health system, develops a patient-centered integrated medical-nursing-care model, expands volunteer teams, and alleviates the burden on medical staff. Meanwhile, Professor Wang provided a detailed introduction to doctoral education applications at NUS, covering aspects such as faculty strength, admission requirements, program costs and graduation criteria.

This visit enabled in-depth exchanges between the two sides on faculty visits, short-term academic exchanges and nursing doctoral training, laying a solid platform for the international development of both institutions and the cultivation of globally competitive nursing talents.
