Chapter 42 Adapting measures to local conditions

Since his rebirth, John's most important thing to do is to open medical schools in China!

Once upon a time, he trembled with excitement when he thought of this plan, and fantasized that one day he would build a school in every province that would be exactly the same as the Huntelaar Medical College, train the best doctors in the world, and then hang his portrait in every school building......

Over the years, he has been working towards this goal. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

To put it seriously, the real purpose of building the Huntelaar Medical College in New York is actually for China, which is far away across the ocean. On the one hand, it can allow him to explore a way of running a school in this era, and on the other hand, it is also to be able to train more medical talents for China and solve the most important problem of teachers.

But as his status and vision grew, John finally understood one thing, that is, although his goal was not unrealistic and absolutely impossible to achieve, it was still far more difficult than he had originally estimated. The problem of funds is actually the best to solve, and the identity of the traverser gives John full confidence, even if he grits his teeth with the investment of twenty Concords, he can smash it in! But John came to understand that money alone could not solve all problems.

One is the teachers, the second is the environment, and the third is the concept!

The most important thing for a medical school is, of course, excellent faculty, and in fact, a top medical school needs hundreds of top faculty! In order to achieve this goal, John could not rely on the constant transfer of staff from his own school, and had to rely on the returning international students. In order to achieve this goal, John began to prepare for this for a long time, and has seen very good results in the past few years—hundreds of trained physicians have returned to China, which is quite a large number.

But the cost of training a physician or a university teacher is too great.

Although the Chinese people are willing to open their eyes to the world, and the number of people going abroad is increasing day by day, the shackles of traditional concepts have not been completely loosened. Therefore, whether it is Japan, Europe or the United States, more than half of the liberal arts students who go abroad to study law and politics account for more than half! Among the other small half of the people, most of them are studying "money-making" industries such as radio, mechanics, chemistry, etc., and there are very few people who are willing to study medicine!

In order to attract talents to study medicine, John has worked hard, such as free tuition, special scholarships for Chinese students, etc., plus he himself is a doctor, and the doctors in Huntelaar Hospital have a high income, which can be regarded as attracting many Chinese to study medicine. Otherwise, there would not be so many doctors returning to China in the past few years and becoming a new force in China's medical community.

But......

When they returned home, they found that they had jumped into a big pit!

The income of American doctors is now only at the level of the average person, or even lower, not to mention China, which has a small domestic market. Therefore, most international students will gather in Shanghai and other places to open their businesses, because only these big cities are open-minded, and there are many foreigners who can bring them patients. In those areas of Changsha, it would take a long time just to get people to accept Western medicine.

High income or something, of course, there is no way to talk about it.

So if you want to attract them to join, John has to offer a superior or a lot of salary. Therefore, in John's plan, the medical school he planned to build had to ensure a high annual investment, retain the faculty, and at the same time prepare for the construction of more hospitals to provide enough space for the medical school to work and practice—one school with three affiliated hospitals, which was John's minimum requirement.

The highest requirement must be the highest input.

So when John read the report, it suddenly dawned on him that he might have taken it for granted. In China, Western medicine has not yet formed enough soil for growth, even if he uses money to pile up a number of top medical schools in hardware, but he cannot provide corresponding supporting teachers; Even if he used money to smash out a group of medical students, he could not provide them with a platform to show their talents - in 1911, the gap between China and the United States was too big!

"So to put it simply, we have to adapt to local conditions!"

While secretly soothing his injured self-esteem, John calmly said to the students: "Keqing, China's national conditions are different from those of the United States, so we can't simply apply the American medical education system, but should come out of our own characteristics!" ”

"National conditions? Characteristic? ”

Listening to the fresh nouns that came out of John's mouth, Yan Fuqing suddenly frowned slightly.

"Not bad!"

Taking a deep breath, John nodded and said, "My original plan was to build more than a dozen medical schools in China in the next ten years according to the standards of Huntelaar Medical College, and at the same time to build at least a hundred modern hospitals according to the configuration of large, medium and small!" But after all this time of consideration, I found this plan to be a little too unrealistic...... On the basis of China at present, it is basically an impossible task. ”

"Uh......"

After listening to John's words, Yan Fuqing couldn't help but nod secretly.

If he heard these words before returning to China, Yan Fuqing would probably be opposed, but after returning to China for three years, he experienced many difficulties, and he knew that what his teacher said was the truth! Xiangya Medical College is located in Changsha, the capital of Hunan Province, and with the support of Huntelaar Bank, it is still so difficult to prepare for the establishment that even most doctors who have returned from studying abroad are reluctant to come to work, let alone the dozen or so medical schools that John said.

"So I'm going to adjust my plan and take it one step at a time!"

After a pause, John said seriously: "First of all, the first step is to build a hundred hospitals in major cities in China...... Of course, not all hospitals are big hospitals like Xiangya Hospital, and ten such hospitals are enough. Other hospitals have lowered their standards as needed, and the smallest hospitals can even accommodate only three or four physicians, with the most basic conditions for examination and treatment......"

As he said these words, John thought of the future community clinic.

Big hospitals have to be built, but there is no point in building too many because there are not enough patients. And in John's mind, even ten major hospitals should be built slowly, and it would be good to build one hospital a year in the next ten years.

"In the case of medical schools, it is enough to build five of them with high standards!"

After a moment of silence, John continued: "I intend to support the establishment of five top medical schools in China, located in Nanjing, Hangzhou, Changsha, Chongqing and Taiyuan!" Needless to say, Xiangya, the other four schools will be built according to Xiangya's standards! High school graduates are enrolled, but the duration of study is eight years......"

"Five?"

After listening to John's words, Yan Fuqing suddenly perked up.

It is clear that, with the exception of Xiangya in Changsha, John's other five cities were well thought out. Nanjing and Hangzhou are located in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, with developed economies, and they are also the strongest places in the Huntelaar consortium, so they can certainly be used as candidates. Shanghai is a little more tempting, but with St. John's and Devon Medical Hall, John doesn't plan to join in the fun. As for Chongqing, although it is relatively close to Chengdu, where West China is located, it is a key city in the future after all, and it deserves to have a top medical school!

As for Taiyuan......

With the name Yan Xishan, John also planned to give it a try.

"In the rest of the city, I plan to build a medical college for the time being!"

Thinking of the medical colleges that are still vibrant a hundred years later, John said in a deep voice: "The standard of running a school has been greatly reduced, the same is to recruit high school graduates, but the requirements have been greatly reduced, such as English and Latin, etc., and the school period has been compressed to three years!" ”

"High school, three years?!"

After hearing these words, Yan Fuqing was stunned!

As the staunchest supporter of the Huntelaar system, Yan Fuqing never imagined that Mr. Huntelaar would formulate such a school system! You must know that their Xiangya is an eight-year system, and now they only ask for a three-year system......

What's the difference between this and those rotten schools in the United States?

"That's right, three years!"

Sighing softly, John nodded and said, "What China lacks most now is not top doctors, but a sufficient number of doctors, and we need them to be quickly trained to fill hundreds of hospitals in the future!" It's too slow according to the original standards, and in fact we don't need them to learn to diagnose and treat those difficult diseases, as long as they master the most basic diagnosis and treatment methods to solve the most common diseases......"
