Nine medical educators and a translator from Peking University Health Sciences Center in the People's Republic of China visited the University of New Mexico for the month of April 2006. They were interested in learning about and observing our curriculum, particularly problem-based learning, and participating in our teaching skills workshops. Their stay here was mutually beneficial and served as the foundation for ongoing collaborations between our two institutions. They are shown here with staff members of the Offices of Teacher & Educational Development (TED) and Program Evaluation, Education, and Research (PEAR).
