Chapter 855: Promoted to Mayo as Attending Doctor!
After a moment of daze, Lu Chen slowly came back to his senses.
"Director, are you looking for me?"
The middle-aged man in front of him, who looked like an Asian, smiled warmly and looked up and down at Lu Chen.
"Yes, I'm looking for you."
He said this in Chinese.
However, his pronunciation of Chinese was a little strange, and he probably had not been in China for a long time.
"Director, do you know Chinese?" Lu Chen quickly switched to Mandarin.
Could it be that the director of the cardiology department of the Mayo Clinic in front of him was a Chinese?
"Only a little bit." The middle-aged man switched to English, "My parents are both Chinese. I lived in China when I was a child, and then I followed my parents to the United States. I have lived here for more than 40 years. I have almost forgotten Chinese, and I only know a little bit."
"Oh." Lu Chen nodded slightly.
At this time, the middle-aged man slowly stood up and pointed to the sofa next to him, "Lu Chen, let's sit down and have a good chat."
The two sat opposite each other.
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "First, let me introduce myself. I am the director of the Department of Cardiology at the Mayo Clinic. You can call me by my Chinese name, Shen Wenguang."
"Hello, Director Shen." Lu Chen replied immediately, "I am from Jiangcheng, China. In fact, I have only graduated with a doctorate for a year and am currently undergoing fellow training at Mayo."
"Well, I know everything about you." Shen Wenguang smiled and nodded, "In the field of tavr, your current surgical ability is second to none even in Mayo. And I have read the paper you wrote on dapagliflozin when you were a student. They are all very influential papers!"
"Director Shen, you are too kind."
Lu Chen was a little curious about why Shen Wenguang came to find him.
Although he performed very well in Mayo, what Mayo lacks the most is genius.
This place brings together medical geniuses from all over the world.
What's more, he is just a 0fellow who came to the Department of Cardiology for training.
You know, the director of the Department of Cardiology of Mayo doctors can sit in this position, which means he is the top professor of cardiovascular medicine in the world!
Could it be that... Director Shen is taking good care of him because he is Chinese?
At this time, Shen Wenguang continued: "The last time I met a Chinese doctor in the Mayo Cardiology Department, it has been many years, about seven or eight years. You are the first in recent years!"
Lu Chen was a little surprised, "Director Shen, our Chinese doctors are not bad, it shouldn't be so few."
"There are quite a few who come to visit, but few apply to become fellows." Shen Wenguang shook his head, "Even if there are from China, most of them are Chinese, living in the United States since childhood, it is better to say that they are Americans than Chinese."
Lu Chen can understand this.
Ordinary people are not qualified to apply for a Chinese fellow, and those who are capable and qualified will not be willing to be an attending physician at Mayo.
As long as they return to China, they can easily receive an annual salary of more than one million, or even higher, at the same level.
But at Mayo, everyone's salary is the same, and may even be lower than that of domestic experts of the same level.
"Lu Chen, I've read your resume. You are one of the best Chinese cardiologists I've seen in recent years."
Shen Wenguang finally got to the point.
Lu Chen also pricked up his ears and began to listen.
"Although I am in the United States now, my roots are in China!"
"I sincerely hope that a Chinese doctor can stay in our Mayo!"
"If one day, he returns to China, he will be able to really help the development of our Chinese cardiology business."
Lu Chen was stunned by Shen Wenguang's words.
Does Director Shen really have such a broad mind?
Being in the United States, but thinking about China?
However, Shen Wenguang had no reason to lie in front of Lu Chen.
In addition, this is an olive branch from a top international professor.
This is different from any other professor's solicitation that Lu Chen has encountered before.
Mayo Clinic is a top international medical center.
Director Shen Wenguang is also a top international professor.
"Director Shen, to be honest with you." Lu Chen smiled, "I came to Mayo and applied for a fellow in the Department of Cardiology. Of course, my goal is to work in Mayo." Hearing this, Shen Wenguang smiled slightly. "Lu Chen, with your current ability, it is more than enough for you to work in our Mayo Cardiology TAVR Group." "Director, you mean..." Lu Chen blinked his eyes, with a bold idea in his mind. "Lu Chen, you guessed right." Shen Wenguang said, "As long as you are willing to stay in Mayo, I can let you finish the fellow training tomorrow and become our Mayo attending physician." The title of attending physician has reached the end at Mayo. Every attending physician at Mayo is one in a million. They all have outstanding performance in clinical or scientific research. To be honest, Lu Chen was moved when he heard this. Clinical fellows are, after all, doctors in training. Attending physicians can really start to lead a team, become an independent medical team, and even form their own scientific research team. "Director Shen, what I want to ask is, how many years is Mayo's contract at least?" Lu Chen asked.
He couldn't stay here forever, or even for a long time.
Before leaving Mayo, Lu Chen needed to improve himself as much as possible.
"Two years!" Shen Wenguang said slowly, "As long as you agree to stay at Mayo, it will be at least two years. After two years, you can choose to renew your contract or leave."
"Okay! I agree!"
Two years is within Lu Chen's acceptable range.
Being an attending physician at Mayo for two years is an experience that is hard for a doctor to refuse.
"That's great." Shen Wenguang smiled, "You go back and write an application to end the fellow training early."
Mayo's fellow training usually takes two years, but there is actually no fixed time.
Most people take two years, very few take one year, and some take more than two years.
As long as the department director approves the training, you can graduate smoothly.
But graduating from Mayo does not mean you can join Mayo.
For example, the current kebed, UU reading www.uukanshu.net, he broke out from the same batch of fellows who graduated and joined Mayo.
"Director, do I need to take the Mayo attending physician assessment?" Lu Chen asked in confusion.
"Of course not." Shen Wenguang said with a smile, "Your quota is a direct invitation from Mayo, and there is no review mode."
"Thank you, Director Shen." Lu Chen smiled.
No matter what other purposes Shen Wenguang has, for Lu Chen now, this is an opportunity that can't be missed!
After a year at Mayo, Lu Chen was successfully promoted to attending physician.
The entire Mayo Cardiology Department was not surprised by Lu Chen's promotion.
At Mayo, it is a simple matter of clinical ability, surgical ability, and scientific research ability.
In the past period of time, Lu Chen's clinical and surgical abilities have conquered everyone.
