The Hong Kong model for collaboration in education in Asia is based on internationalization. Hong Kong benefits from being an international city combining an Eastern heritage and a Western society. The University of Hong Kong ranks among the world's top 25 universities (2012/2013 QS world university rankings), and its Division of Paediatric Surgery has an international reputation in research and training. In the past two decades, Hong Kong has leading roles in major international pediatric surgical organizations including Pacific Association of Pediatric Surgeons, International Pediatric Endosurgery Group, Asian Association of Pediatric Surgeons and World Federation of Associations of Pediatric Surgeons. While Hong Kong has close collaboration with Japan and other advanced economies, the talk will focus on our transfer of international experience to Mainland China.
(1) A Train-the-Trainer scheme consisting of a 1-year structured education program for next-generation leaders from selected centers enabled replication and proliferation of similar training nationwide. (2) A series of laparoscopic workshops resulted in training of over 1,300 surgeons in basic and advanced skills in minimally invasive surgery within 5 years and the establishment of a national specialist organization overseeing development and quality assurance. (3) A series of Cross-Strait Symposia on Pediatric Oncology established the foundation of multidisciplinary, multicenter collaboration in education and research in Mainland China, Taiwan and Hong Kong. (4) Initiation of a scientific writing course will enhance surgical research and training in China.
The Hong Kong experience may serve as a model of collaboration with other developing economies in Asia.
香港在亚洲的教育合作模式以国际化为基础。香港作为一个融合了东方传统和西方社会的国际城市而受益。香港大学位列世界前25所大学（2012/2013年QS世界大学排名），其小儿外科部门在研究和培训方面享有国际声誉。在过去二十年中，香港在主要国际小儿外科组织中发挥着主导作用，这些组织包括太平洋小儿外科医师协会、国际小儿内镜外科学会、亚洲小儿外科医师协会和世界小儿外科医师协会联合会。虽然香港与日本及其他发达经济体有着密切合作，但本次演讲将聚焦于我们向中国大陆转移国际经验的情况。
（1）一项“培训培训师”计划，包括为选定中心的下一代领导者开展为期一年的结构化教育项目，从而在全国范围内复制和推广类似培训。（2）一系列腹腔镜研讨会在5年内培训了1300多名外科医生的微创外科基础和高级技能，并成立了一个全国性专业组织来监督发展和质量保证。（3）一系列两岸小儿肿瘤学研讨会为中国大陆、台湾和香港在教育和研究方面的多学科、多中心合作奠定了基础。（4）启动一门科学写作课程将加强中国的外科研究和培训。
香港的经验可作为与亚洲其他发展中经济体合作的模式。
