The scope of cooperation between the two sides includes (but no limited to) teacher training, clinical research, medical leadership and management, safety, quality, information and leadership, pediatrics, surgery, master of clinical research, master of medical quality and safety etc., to promote the medical research, innovation and internationalization of Wuhan University.
Tang Qizhu extended a warm welcome to Singh and the delegation. He introduced the advantages of Wuhan University and MUSM, and pointed out that Harvard Medical School, with a history of more than 200 years, ranks the first among the medical schools in United States and the world. The cooperation agreement will continue to enhance the influence of both sides, and will also vigorously promote Wuhan University to accelerate the construction of a world-class medical higher education.

At present, the project only cooperates with the PLA General Hospital, Peking Union Medical College, Fudan University Medical College and other three medical institutions in China, and WHU is the fourth cooperative unit. Singh hopes to open more cooperation in doctor exchanges, teacher training, platform building and other aspects with MUSM through the cooperation opportunity of graduate education.
