Chapter 183: Chapter 168: Key Departments: School of Medicine (Third Update)_1

Dean Jiang adjusted his glasses lightly and said with a smile, "Principal Ding, please, go on."

"Here’s what I’m thinking, it’s rather monotonous if only our school’s medical robot works in partnership with your Mist City Central Hospital. How about our Mist City Arts and Science University forming a long-term cooperation with your hospital?"

Ding Yue didn’t beat around the bush; he made clear his own intentions of establishing a long-term cooperation with Mist City Central Hospital.

Furthermore, the cooperation was meant to extend beyond the pilot testing of Big White.

Upon hearing this, Dean Jiang furrowed his eyebrows and asked, "Principal Ding, what kind of cooperation are you suggesting? Tell me more."

"Ahem."

Ding Yue cleared his throat with a smile, "Then, I’ll just be straightforward. During the development and manufacture of the medical robot Big White, our College of Medicine students actively participated. They have compiled over ten thousand cases in our ’Comprehensive Guide to Medical Cases and Their Treatment Options’ for Big White."

"Oh, so that’s why Big White is able to diagnose patients’ conditions. It’s all thanks to your College of Medicine’s ’Comprehensive Guide to Medical Cases and Their Treatment Options’."

Dean Jiang said as if it all became clear to him.

Ding Yue gave a slight nod, "That’s right. Hence, I believe that the students of our College of Medicine have great potential. Their learning abilities aren’t inferior to those attending a medical university, but... as our college will soon hold its admission process for the second half of this year, we hope Mist City Central Hospital can provide some assistance in terms of teaching resources."

"Principal Ding, you sure dare to ask for a lot!"

President Jiang Zhongbo burst into laughter at this.

At this point, Wen Ruohan finally understood. Principal Ding’s aim was not to carry out pilot testing of Big White at Mist City Central Hospital.

Instead, he wanted to obtain some teaching resources from the field of medicine from Mist City Central Hospital.

Wow!

Wen Ruohan found herself somewhat admiring Principal Ding - his thought process often operated on a level completely different from her own.

While she was on the first level, Principal Ding was already on the second.

"I’m simply trying to further develop our College of Medicine. Once it flourishes, it can continuously supply talented individuals to your Mist City Central Hospital. It’s a win-win situation!"

Ding Yue spread his hands, speaking rather confidently.

"But Principal Ding, our Mist City Central Hospital receives a fresh batch of talented individuals from the Medical University every year. Your college, on the other hand, it’s just too small."

President Jiang Zhongbo shook his head.

"However."

Suddenly, President Jiang Zhongbo swerved, his gaze moving to meet Ding Yue’s. He smiled warmly and said, "Principal Ding’s desire to develop the field of medicine is commendable, especially as the university is privately owned and doesn’t receive any subsidies from the state. Self-development would require significant investment."

"Since I wish to further develop our College of Medicine, investment is inevitable. No matter how much it costs, we must spend."

Ding Yue’s eyes were filled with determination.

President Jiang Zhongbo admired Ding Yue’s confident demeanour and his determination to spend resources in order to further develop the College of Medicine at Mist City Arts and Science University.

The fact that they had participated in compiling the ’Comprehensive Guide to Medical Cases and Their Treatment Options’ showed that Ding Yue placed significant importance on the College of Medicine.

Even though the College of Medicine was rather small at the moment.

Yet, President Jiang Zhongbo had high hopes for its development.

Moreover, being small meant that they wouldn’t need too many people.

"Quite a few doctors from our Mist City Central Hospital also serve as professors at the Medical University due to our partnership. Since we are here to form a partnership with your Mist City Arts and Science University, Principal Ding, I think your... bold idea seems to be quite reasonable."

Upon hearing President Jiang’s words, Ding Yue’s eyes lit up in excitement.

"So, does that mean, Dean Jiang, you’ve agreed?"

Ding Yue immediately asked.

"Personally, I do agree. However, under these circumstances, it’s hard for me to send anyone to hold a teaching post at your College of Medicine. It would be up to the doctors at our hospital."

President Jiang Zhongbo spoke definitively.

From a personal viewpoint, Dean Jiang agreed with allowing Mist City Central Hospital’s doctors to hold teaching posts at Mist City Arts and Science University’s College of Medicine.

In reality, many doctors, including head physicians, are allowed to hold teaching posts at medical colleges and universities.

This is even more common at medical university affiliated hospitals.

The scale of Mist City Medical University Affiliated Hospital was passable, but it was still somewhat inferior compared to Mist City Central Hospital.

"Right!"

Ding Yue knew that this was the biggest concession that President Jiang Zhongbo could make.

He couldn’t forcibly send doctors to his College of Medicine at Mist City Arts and Science University. It had to be up to the doctors to volunteer.

That was okay. As long as Ding Yue offered generous salaries, the doctors who only needed to give a few lectures each week could receive handsome remuneration. Why wouldn’t they want that?

For doctors at Mist City Central Hospital, the biggest obstacle was that the College of Medicine at Mist City Arts and Science University was far too unremarkable. Taking a post there would risk damaging their reputation.

"Dean Jiang, before you return to Mist City, I’ll be drafting a payment and benefits schedule for our College of Medicine faculty positions. I hope that you can distribute it among the esteemed doctors at your hospital and allow them to volunteer."
