Chapter 39 Plans

The modern medical education system is a very large proposition. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Even for the United States in 1912, it was very difficult to establish a relatively complete medical system, even if it was difficult to improve the medical education system in the country, otherwise, after the Fletschner Report, Americans would not have spent decades of effort and untold amounts of money to achieve it.

And for China, an ancient country, the so-called modern medical education system is impossible to talk about!

So after listening to John's words, Yan Fuqing and Wu Liande's hearts were surging, and their faces showed a look of joy, excitement and excitement, while Einher's eyes widened, as if he had heard something incredible, and his face was full of disbelief!

In fact, John's words really did not make him believe it!

Einherr himself did not have too much prejudice against China, otherwise he would not have been selected to come to China as the general manager of Huntelaar Pharmaceuticals. But as a man of understanding, he knew very well that if he wanted to do what John said, it would take an astronomical amount of investment, the cultivation of countless talents, and countless difficulties!

For a moment, Einheil was a little frightened.

"Gentlemen, I know it's tough!"

Smiling slightly, John said indifferently: "But I don't think it's impossible, and I think that as long as there are enough funds and talents, it will be even easier to establish a new medical education system in China, at least easier than the medical education reform in the United States...... Everyone should understand the reason why a blank piece of paper is easy to draw, right? ”

"Not bad!"

When he heard this, Yan Fuqing nodded subconsciously.

Although Yan Fuqing encountered such difficulties in the preparation of medical school in Changsha in the past two years, it can be said that it was very hard, but now that I look back, just like Mr. Huntelaar said, if he has enough funds and talents, then the rest is nothing more than trivial matters in preparation and a long wait. And after the school is completed in the future, it is very easy for Yan Fuqing to fully implement the educational concept of the Huntelaar system, on the one hand, because of the investment, he has absolute control, and on the other hand, like Edward? Yale graduates like Hu Mei will not be an obstacle, after all, Yale School of Medicine is now a member of the Huntelaar system.

But in the U.S., it's going to be tougher.

A graduate of Huntelaar Medical College, Yan knew that with the support of John, the President, Congress, and foundations, the recommendations of the Flexner report would not be easy to implement. Because most medical schools do not have this set of ideas except for the ten schools in the Northeast, especially those small medical schools for the dead, it is too difficult to make them give up the possibility of making money and greatly improve the standard of running a school.

But all these difficulties are not a problem at all in China!

China, which had just been liberated from feudal rule, did not care about the medical education system at this stage. In addition to traditional medicine with the traditional master-apprentice system, there are only a few medical schools in the country, and many medical schools in modern history have not yet appeared, or even prepared. Therefore, at this time, whoever pays for the construction of the school is entitled to make the rules, if Mr. Huntelaar can build ten medical schools and a hundred hospitals as soon as possible, as he has just said......

With so many medical schools and hospitals in control, you basically control the right to speak in China's medical education!

Einherr obviously thought of this at this time, frowned and said, "Sir, I roughly understand what you mean, but ...... It is easier to set up a pharmaceutical company and a medical device company, after all, it is a profitable business, as long as there are enough skilled workers, it can be built as soon as possible, and it can also bring a steady stream of income in the future, but ...... The construction of so many medical schools and hospitals requires a huge amount of money! ”

I can't help but question Inhair, it's really too much money!

If you want to implement the educational concept of the Huntelaar system, a medical school with a guaranteed scale has invested a lot, even if China's land and construction costs are low, but the teaching equipment can not be saved, the hardware investment of the school cannot be saved, and the excellent teachers cannot be saved, these investments will also cost millions of dollars, and ten schools are tens of millions of dollars! If you add in the expenses of doctors, nurses and all kinds of auxiliary staff, as well as the expenses of maintaining the operation of these medical schools and hospitals in the future, it is conservatively estimated that the investment required in ten years will not be less than 50 million dollars! Ten years from now, even if all the medical schools and hospitals were to be completed and the hospitals were self-sustaining, the operating expenses of the fifteen medical schools would not be less than two million dollars......

If John had heard Einheil's calculations, he would have scoffed at them at once.

The guy thought the numbers he calculated were scary, but John was actually well aware of how difficult his task was! In the next 40 years, the Rockefeller Foundation's total investment in the Concord alone will be as high as 50 or 60 million dollars! Although the time span is as long as 40 years, and Concord is also at the top of Asia, it also fully demonstrates the huge investment in medical education, not to mention that John has never considered being worse than Concord, he hopes that every school in his system can be as strong as Concord!

This means that the investment of just ten medical schools will require hundreds of millions of dollars in the future!

What's more, John's future plans are far less than ten medical schools, and in a large country with 40,000 people, even a hundred medical schools are not enough! If John had to give a number, he would think that at least five medical schools in a province would be barely enough, and it would be barely enough.

Of course, this was just John's ideal.

In fact, of course, this is impossible, not to mention that John does not have the strength to build hundreds of medical schools across the country, even if he really has this strength, John will not do such a stupid thing - for China in this era, too many modern doctors are actually a burden!

Yes, burden!

Think of Edward? What happened to Hu Mei in Changsha, it took him several years to get a small number of Changsha people to accept foreign doctors, medicines that were not decoctions, and so-called surgeries that were cut around people with sharp knives...... It's just a small number of people! Is this still in the capital of a province, but what if it is in a smaller city or village? How long and how much does it take to convince people to accept modern medicine?

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to get on as soon as your head is hot.

And don't forget, it's not easy to start a medical school, especially one that meets John's requirements. Building a school building and buying equipment are simple things, and all that is needed is money and time, but what about the school's teachers? Even under John's guidance, the number of international students studying medicine in the Northeast 10 universities and Germany is increasing every year, and at least 100 people will return to China every year in the next ten years, but how many are willing to teach in these schools? The problem that Yan Fuqing encountered must be taken into account......

"Money is not the problem, the problem is the talent to teach!"

Thinking of this, John couldn't help but sigh, and said with a wry smile: "Not necessarily people who return to China from studying medicine are willing to teach, and most of those who are willing to teach will choose big cities, such as Shanghai and Beijing...... There's a lot more to think about! ”

The problem that money can solve, in John's opinion, is not a problem!

Now the Huntelaar consortium is like a machine running at full speed, desperately preparing for war in three years' time. With their sheer size and foresight, they would have earned John enough money for this project in World War I, and it would have been many times greater! But the problem of talent is a bit difficult to solve, at least not in a short period of time, otherwise John would not have asked Rong Hong to help write those letters......

Just when John had a headache, Wu Liande, who had been silent, suddenly asked: "Mr. Huntelaar, I take the liberty of asking, what did you just say about the medical society...... Do you mean to help China build a medical academic organization? (To be continued.) )
