Director Lu shared the achievements of the exchange over the past year on site. Prof. Shu expressed his appreciation for the fruitful outcome of the cooperation and hoped for further deepening the cooperation to build a high-level international platform. During the one-week visit, Prof. Hatz participated in a series of clinical activities, such as outpatient consultation, surgical guidance and tumor boards for lung cancer. He also delivered a lecture on career planning for all the residents at the General Surgery Forum, sharing insights from his decades of career. He encouraged young doctors to plan their career paths early and focus on the improvement of both professional skills and global vision. At the“2nd Workshop on Precision Minimally Invasive Techniques in Thoracic Surgery” held on Saturday, Prof. Hatz gave a lecture on “Surgical Quality and Safety in Thoracic Surgery”. He highlighted the key roles of ERAS concepts, antibiotic stewardship, clinical system digitalization and standardized treatment centers in modern thoracic surgery systems.

Throughout his interaction with the hospital’s staff, Prof. Hatz repeatedly expressed his commitment to the growth and development of young doctors. He shared his joy that both of his Chinese doctoral students had successfully received funding from the China Scholarship Council, which reminded him of his own experience as a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard, supported by the German Research Foundation. Prof. Hatz emphasized that an international vision and a research mindset are necessary qualities beyond clinical skills for surgeons. He encouraged young doctors to strengthen their language skills, actively engage in international exchanges, and combine career development with a strong sense of responsibility to patients, rather than merely focusing on career promotions. With his outstanding expertise, modest and engaging personality and dedication to medical education, Prof. Hatz earned the deep respect of the thoracic team at Northern Jiangsu People’s Hospital and many attendees of the workshop. His visit not only introduced advanced ideas and international experience but also inspired deep and insightful thinking of the hospital on medical education, research, and clinical quality improvement.
