Q: I am a medical student from the Philippines. Can I pursue medical residency or fellowship in Shanghai after I graduate? My top hospital choices are Shanghai United Family Hospital, Renji Hospital, Raffles Hospital, Zhongshan Hospital, and Jiahui International Hospital.

Do these hospitals offer residency training in Shanghai?

A: Among the hospitals you listed, Renji Hospital and Zhongshan Hospital are accredited bases for standardized residency and specialist training.

If you plan to come to Shanghai for standardized residency training, you must first confirm that you are eligible to take the National Medical Licensing Examination in China. Afterward, we recommend consulting the human resources departments of the training hospitals directly.

Please note that standardized specialist training is open only to clinical physicians already employed by a medical institution.
