Introduction of Medical Education of Medical School

Medical school enrolls 400 undergraduates every year, including 200 candidates of Medical Bachelor (5 years) and 200 candidates of Medical Master (7 years)

Medical Bachelor (5 year of Medical Education)

The five years of systemic medical education will provide the students with the knowledge, skill and attitudes necessary for the medical practice. There are 51 compulsory courses that are classified into three kinds: natural and social sciences, basic medical sciences and clinical medical sciences.
The natural and social sciences including Mathematics, Physics, Inorganic Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Cell Biology, English, Morals and Law, Culture and Traditional Literature. These courses will tell the student some basic knowledge of the nature and the society.
The basic medical sciences consist of the Human Anatomy (including the Systemic Anatomy and Local Anatomy), Histology and Embryology, Human Physiology, Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Medical Microbiology, Medical Immunology, Human Parasitology, Pathophysiology, Pathology, Pharmacology, Medical Psychology, Medical Genetics, Medical Ethics, Preventive Medicine, Nuclear Medicine, Science of Operation, Image Medicine, Diagnosis. These courses provide the student with basic knowledge of the structure and function of the human body, the causes and development of the disease, the basic technique for the diagnosis and treatment of the diseases.
The clinical medical sciences including the Internal Medicine, Surgery, Gynecology and Obstetrics, Pediatrics, Neurology, Psychiatry, Ophthalmology, Otorhinolaryngology, Dermatology. Besides learning the clinical sciences, the student will work as intern in the hospital. During the training as an intern, the student will take part in the diagnosis and treatment of patients. The student will combine everything he learned in the Medical School during the training of the clinical practice.
Besides the 51 compulsory courses, there are more than 50 selective courses. These courses are designed for students to broaden and deepen their knowledge of the natural and social sciences, basic medical sciences, clinical sciences and techniques. They will also give the student some basics about the medical research. The students have to study more than 6 of them during the five years of medical education.
50 of the student will specialize in the study of Medical Image during the last two years. Besides the clinical courses, they will study photography, Medical Imageological Technique, Sectional Anatomy, Imageological Diagnosis, Diagnostic Ultrasonography, Radiation Therapeutics, Interventional Radiology.
If the student passes all compulsory and selected course, they will get the degree of Medical Bachelor.

Medical Master (7 year of Medical Education)

The three kinds of courses, including the natural and social science, the basic medical science and clinical sciences designed for the candidate of the Medial Master are similar to the candidate of the Medical Bachelor. There are two differences between the education of Medical Bachelor and Medical Master. The first difference is that, in the first year, the candidates of the Medical Master will study in the School of Biological Sciences. They will learn more course of the biological science, which give them a better background for the study of the medical sciences. The second difference is that the student will receive some basic training on medical research. Some courses, including the Statistics, SAS Software, Neurobiology, the Cellular Biology Technique and Molecular biology Technique will give the student some basic about the research. The student will act as intern for two years. They will specify in one area in the last year, and besides the basic training of the clinical practice, they have to finish their Master Thesis. The oral defense for the thesis will be held before they finish the seven years education. If they pass all the courses and the thesis defense, they will get the degree of Medical Master.

At the end of the medical education, the students, both the Medical Bachelor and Medical Master, will realize that the medical science is a broad, deep, and rapidly changing discipline. The mastery of medical knowledge and technical skills requires lifelong self-education.
