With the continuous development of global medical technologies, the application of neuromodulation technology in the field of psychiatry has become increasingly extensive and in-depth. However, there are differences among different countries and regions in the mastery and application levels of this technology. In order to promote international medical exchanges and cooperation and enhance the professional level in the field of physical therapy in psychiatry globally, this training project is specially established.

This project aims to provide an international platform for students to systematically learn and practice neuromodulation technology, strengthen academic exchanges and cooperation in the aspect of physical therapy in psychiatry among countries, and promote the sharing and dissemination of the frontier research achievements in this field on a global scale.

This project is open to medical students, clinical doctors and relevant medical professionals from foreign medical institutions or universities around the world. Whether they are medical students who are eager to deeply learn professional knowledge at the early stage of their studies or doctors and professionals who have certain experience in clinical work and hope to improve their professional skills and expand their research horizons, they are all welcome to apply for participation.
