Several doctors traveled more than 10,000 miles to learn more about chest pain treatment.

The Medical Center of Central Georgia welcomed four doctors and one hospital administrator from China on Friday.

They looked at ambulances and the technologies inside, and visited the Chest Pain Center and Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit. They'll take the information back to their country to hopefully improve their treatments.

A translator explained why they came to the medical center.

Frank Zhang says,"This hospital is very famous and we want to visit and learn."

They're here to learn more about the Heart Institute and how they take care of patients with chest pains.
