Send response to journal: Re: Revitalize Academice Medicine-a report from China.	In recent years,revitalizing academic medicine-is a matter of major concern all over the world . AIDS,MDR -TB,SARS,Birds' flue etc,taught us to consider foreign medical study programme across the geographical boundaries. Luzhou Medical College,Sichuan province,P.R.China has initiated an extensive and innovative foreign medical education programme for teaching SAARC students with the help of foreign teachers.This WHO recognized veteran central government medical college,is promoting a twenty first century education programme with an affordable tution fees. This will definitely help to train the students with new vigour and enthusiasm.Chinese traditional medicine and original acupuncture techniques will further equip our students with additional skills. Due to lack of enough training in clincal skills and diagnostic instruments in medical colleges at different parts of third world countries, made our future doctor less skilled and inferior to others. Traumaic experiences are not uncommon and therefore doctors are loosing courage to take care of the seriously sick patients(ref-1). We need to train our future doctors with newer techniques and skills to manage and cure patients in critical conditions.
