In the future, the three parties will exchange good experiences, including discipline direction in academic research and clinical technology, personnel training and other aspects of depth cooperation. In order to promote children's hearing healthcare to further improve clinical and scientific research level.
On the same day, NMCH also invited the Stanford University School of Medicine otolaryngology head and neck surgery Director Matthew Fitzgerald, University of the Pacific professor in the department of hearing Gabriella Musacchia, Jiong Hu, and University of the Pacific Audiology Doctoral Resident Hayley Shillington gave the guests a lecture on "Children's Field of Audiology Related Academic Frontier".
