ABSTRACT
This study has combed and analyzed the characteristics of medical doctoral supervisors and the enrollment status from 2015 to 2018 in Tongji University School of Medicine. The results show that the distribution of doctoral supervisors' age, gender and professional title is relatively balanced. The enrollment situation shows the clustering trend. There are obvious differences in enrollment among clinical medical disciplines, and the scales of doctoral supervisors and doctoral students are not matched and unevenly distributed. It is essential to give an overall consideration in discipline resources and optimize enrollment allocation, for improving the construction of doctoral supervisors and the quality of doctoral training.
ABSTRACT
Introducing the concept of integration into medical curriculum reform is an important measure to promote the development of medical education. This research discusses the advantages and disadvantages of various teaching models by comparing the models of organ system integration courses at home and abroad, combining with the review of the development of integrated courses in Shanghai Jiao Tong University Medical College and the analysis of questionnaires from teachers and students, proposes a curriculum reform plan optimized with the concept of "Medical discipline in the new era", and puts forward targeted suggestions from the aspects of curriculum system setting, teacher security, etc., thus providing research support for the future development of organ system integration curriculum.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To analyze the overall situation and existing problems of the scientific and technological innovation capacity of hospitals in Shandong Province, propose strategies for the construction of first-class medical disciplines in hospitals, promote the transformation of medical science and technology achievements into clinical application, and provide a reference basis for building a highland of health scientific and technological innovation.Methods:Science and Technology Evaluation Metrics (STEM) data of hospitals in Shandong Province in 2020 were obtained by network research method, and the scientific and technological innovation capacity and sustainability of hospitals and disciplines were analyzed by statistical description method, assignment method, and NetDraw visualization tool.Results:The number of national top 100 hospitals and disciplines in Shandong Province ranks seventh and sixth in China, respectively. Only three hospitals in Shandong Province are among the national top 50, covering 80.6% of provincial top-ranked disciplines, while 41.6% of the national top 100 disciplines in Shandong Province are ranked after the top 50 in their respective discipline lists. The hospital scientific and technological innovation capacity of Shandong Province is at the middle-upper level with few and uneven distributions of first-class hospitals and disciplines, leading to a relatively weak overall science and technology impact.Conclusions:Given the current situation in Shandong Province, it is suggested that hospitals should take STEM as a guide to strengthen the construction of scientific research environments, vigorously develop clinical research, continuous strengthen discipline construction, and emphasize scientific innovative talent training and research integrity education, providing a science and technology strategic support for the acceleration of the medical scientific and technologic innovation and the promotion of high-level innovative province construction.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore what kind of strategies should be adopted by the medical disciplines of comprehensive universities in China,taking into account and respect the particularity nature of medical science,inspiring innovative creation to build the First-Class disciplines.Methods Literature review and quantitative research were adopted in this paper.By reviewing published articles to better understand the special laws of medical disciplines and identify current development problems.Furthermore,the data from ESI,QS Ranking,and the Ministry of Education were collected to reveal problems and to propose strategies.Results The future development of Medicine disciplines possesses the characteristics of integration,technology dependence,heterogeneity,etc.In the new era of building world-class disciplines and first-class universities,compared with international first-class disciplines,peaks of medical disciplines in Chinese universities are still relatively scarce.The comprehensive university medical discipline should adhere to the principle of ‘connotative development’.In the process of construction,medical discipline should pay full attention to cross-integration,promote cross-disciplinary,adjust and optimize the former system.Strengthen the construction of new disciplines development to build medical disciplines with distinctive features.Optimize top-level design to foster disciplines peaks.Attach great importance to the construction of talents to build up high-level talent team with sustainable development ability.Emphasize on medical education to improve the quality of personnel training.Promote institutional innovation to activate the vitality of integration.Build an effective evaluation system to promote construction.Conclusions With the premise of fully respecting the special laws and characteristics,the medical discipline constructions of comprehensive universities should be guided by the future development model of medicine and clinical needs,and adhered to the ‘connotative development’.With the development of medical disciplines,the level of clinical diagnosis and treatment will be improved,the original innovation will be enhanced,as well as the social service capabilities of comprehensive universities,furthermore,the frontiers of scientific development and national strategic development needs will be effectively supported.
ABSTRACT
China University Subject Ranking (CUSR) and Essential Science Indicators (ESI) are important reference indicators for China medical discipline level. The main problems affected the development of medical discipline are the medical education mode failed to fit uniqueness of medical education, the limitations of the design of medical talent training, the low efficiency of medical clinical research ability and so on. Taking the construction of "top level" as the goal oriented and improving the medical discipline level, we need to grasp the following key links: to establish the medical education mode with respect to the special pattern of medical education, to build the medical talents highland with innovation course and incentive system, and to promote the development efficiency of medical discipline based on the standard management system and so on.
ABSTRACT
We propose that the various meanings of ‘professionalism’ in the literature can usefully be grouped as 1) professionalism denoting ‘excellence in medical practice’ and 2) professionalism as it relates to ‘meeting certain standards.’ These groupings lead to two complementary pedagogical goals and teaching strategies in terms of inspiration and discernment. These strategies address both the need for an aspirational goal, and for achievable standards in attaining clinical competence, understanding of ethics, and skills in communication. Achieving these standards then provides a base for the eventual expression of professionalism which is understood in terms of virtues—such as excellence, humanism, accountability and altruism. Some of the implications for medicine as a profession are discussed if it is to claim these virtues in professional practice. We suggest that disciplinary issues be dealt with separately from teaching programmes as they relate (in most cases) to a small proportion of students and clinicians who have difficulty in maintaining required standards of professionalism. We illustrate this approach to teaching professionalism by reference to a programme at the Yong Lin Loo School of Medicine in the National University of Singapore.
