Chapter 43 Grading
"To put it simply, it is the classification of medical schools and the classification of hospitals!"
Looking at Yan Fuqing, who was at a loss, John said in a deep voice: "You have been preparing to build Xiangya Medical College for the past two years, and you should know very well that a top school is not so easy to build!" Think about it, how much time and money did it take to Huntelaar School of Medicine or Hopkins? Although Xiangya can copy everything from Huntelaar Medical College, can professors from various disciplines be transferred directly? Can good teachers appear out of thin air? “
"Of course not!"
Without waiting for the pensive Yan Fuqing to speak, John himself shook his head and said with a wry smile: "No matter how much we invest, it is impossible to train a large number of qualified teachers in a short period of time!" Therefore, the safest way to do this is to recruit the elites who have returned to China on the one hand, and send people to New York for training on the other hand, so as to slowly cultivate enough talents. Even so, in the next one www.biquge.info or two decades, it would be remarkable to be able to cultivate the talents needed by the five schools. ”
John truly understands this.
In order to prepare for his own Huntelaar Medical School, John dug up half of the Hopkins family, and then used high salaries and generous benefits to poach people from Europe, and then it took more than ten years to be considered a complete success. It was hard for him to imagine how difficult it would be to build five of these schools in China!
In fact, even if there is only one, it is as difficult as the sky!
"Not bad!"
When he heard this, Yan Fuqing also nodded with deep sympathy. He has been in Changsha for the past two years, and he is well aware of the difficulties of preparing to build one medical school, let alone five.
"So, we have to adapt to local conditions and lower our standards!"
John raised his eyebrows and repeated what he had just said: "China does not need a large number of top doctors who can perform surgery, but needs some general doctors who can deal with simple diseases, and I think that after three years of medical training, it is barely enough!" ”
Won't the young people who will graduate from the medical school in the future see people?
Of course, it is indeed a bit difficult to let them diagnose and treat some incurable diseases, or go to the operating table, after all, it takes a longer period of professional training. But what if it's just a simple cold and fever, or a preliminary judgment based on the symptoms of various diseases?
This difficulty, in fact, is not very large!
For example, future medical college clinical graduates still have the strength to work as assistant physicians or work in township health centers. Especially in this day and age, the amount of medical knowledge is far from being comparable to that of the future, and even the barefoot doctors of the future can be of great use, let alone those who have been systematically trained.
And......
After a slight pause, John continued: "When the time is ripe and the strength of these medical specialties is sufficient, we can raise the standard appropriately, such as raising the standard from three years to five or six years, and use a more perfect plan to train better physicians......"
If a prospective medical student hears it, he'll understand it right away.
This is a plan that John has set for the development of Chinese medicine, which will continue to build a steady stream of three-year specialties in the future, and then upgrade the growing medical colleges to five-year or six-year undergraduate programs (early Chinese medical education attached great importance to English, and it was common for high school students to take a one-year preparatory course), repeating the old path of Chinese medical education in the previous life. Although for developed countries in Europe and the United States, it is certainly not cost-effective for the medical school system to be so messy, because it is more difficult to adjust it in the future, and it is better to do it in one step. However, for China, where the foundation is so weak that it is almost none, this method can maximize the use of existing resources and reduce the difficulty of training doctors!
Of course, the ultimate goal is to fully realize the eight-year medical education.
So schools like seven-year, John doesn't plan to let them appear again in China, three-year, five-year (six-year) and eight-year, three systems are enough. Most of the top talents who have returned from studying abroad work or teach in top medical schools, and a small number of people and elites trained in China are responsible for opening medical colleges, which will be upgraded to a five-year or six-year system in the future.
In this way, the eight-year program is responsible for cultivating medical leaders, the five-year program is for training medical backbones, and the three-year program is for grassroots doctors, thus forming a complete talent echelon......
After being silent for a long time this time, Yan Fuqing finally nodded.
Just kidding, although many people have a lot of slander about China's medical education in the future, the system that has been developed over the decades and will continue to be used for a long time in the future fully illustrates its practicability. China can't afford to have an eight-year school for all medical schools all at once, and this requires not only a strong enough medical education, but also a strong teaching hospital, which will take decades for even the Americans, and China is even worse.
Seeing Yan Fuqing nodding, John nodded with satisfaction.
Yan Fuqing is the first Chinese doctor to graduate from Huntelaar Medical College, and is also one of the best graduates, so it can be said that he won John's trust and was selected by him as one of the candidates to implement this plan early. Now Yan Fuqing is doing a good job in Changsha, coupled with another world, this big bull has a brilliant resume in organizing Xiangya Hospital, Xiangya Medical College, Fudan University School of Medicine, Shanghai Zhongshan Hospital, Huashan Hospital and Pulmonary Hospital, there is no doubt that he should be the best person to implement this plan!
In fact, Yan Fuqing is also very happy!
After all, John? The picture that Mr. Huntelaar paints is so enticing that no one can resist the temptation to become a leader in medical education in China. Once this plan is finally realized, even if it is only a small half, there will be at least two top medical schools and six or seven medical colleges, which will undoubtedly occupy half of the current medical field in China. And if all of them are realized, it means that this system will become the mainstream of Chinese medicine!
For patriot Yan Fuqing, this temptation is irresistible.
And as a student of John, Yan Fuqing is also very clear about his teacher's character, since he said it, he will definitely do it, and if he agrees, he will definitely fulfill it, or even better! In that case, of course, he is even more obliged.
After saying some more details, John then smiled: "As for the classification of hospitals, it is actually very simple, I plan to divide the hospitals we are planning to set up into three levels: large general hospitals, specialized hospitals and ordinary small hospitals!" Large general hospitals are easy to understand, that is, Xiangya Hospital, which is an affiliated hospital of the medical school, in addition to diagnosing and treating patients, it also has to undertake teaching work; Specialized hospitals are mainly obstetrics and gynecology hospitals and children's hospitals, and the world's major powers have basically recognized these two types of specialized hospitals; As for the small hospital......
With a slight smile, John shrugged his shoulders and said: "Maybe it can't be called a hospital anymore, it should be called a clinic, and there are only a few doctors or even one or two doctors who work to diagnose and treat some simple diseases or find the symptoms of certain diseases, and then recommend patients to go to a big hospital for treatment if they are not able to solve it!" ”
If there was another traverser present, hearing these words would definitely make your eyes stick out!
In the future, China wanted to implement a hierarchical diagnosis and treatment system, but it was extremely difficult, but it was proposed by a person in 1912! And more importantly, modern medicine in China is a blank slate, drawn by people at will, if John can really build a few top medical schools and ten major hospitals in the next ten years, and then build more small schools and small hospitals, maybe he can really do it......"
"Of course, nothing is absolute."
With the excitement of changing history in his chest, John's voice also became high-pitched: "Those who graduate from the eight-year program are not necessarily all elites, and if they do not perform well, they may also become community doctors; Those who graduate from the three-year program may not be in community hospitals for the rest of their lives, and their outstanding performance can be upgraded by going to large hospitals for further study, etc., which need to slowly form a complete system in the future......
……
At the beginning of 1912, John had a secret meeting with Yan Fuqing in Shanghai for a week.
Over the course of a week, John? Huntelaar and his students had an in-depth discussion about his plans for the future of medical education and the medical system in China, and while convincing them, Yan Fuqing fully understood his intentions.
The change of history began on this day. (To be continued.) )
