ABSTRACT
Here we introduced the teaching objectives, course contents and examination methods of oral biology in North America, Europe, Australia, Japan, Korea and other countries, compared the differences of oral biology courses among these schools, domestic and abroad, and we further analyzed the deep backgrounds or reasons of these differences. In brief, the oral biology education abroad is mainly for the graduate students, and the teaching target is improving the research ability of the students, in addition, the course contents varies a lot from school to school. Whereas in China, the teaching objects include both undergraduates and graduate students, the course aims to popularize the basic scientific knowledge of oral biology, and the course contents mostly depends on the uniform text books. The deep reasons of course differences might be related to different education systems and teaching targets. Our data will be helpful for the further improvement and future development of our domestic oral biology education.
ABSTRACT
Complexity science is a new type of scientific research method, and the combination of complexity science, life science, and medicine is still in the initial stage of exploration, and domestic medi-cal colleges do not offer correlative course currently. In order to broaden students' vision, transform their traditional thinking model, and prepare the future of multidisciplinary cooperation, medical colleges should open complexity science and medicine correlative course for senior undergraduate and graduate students. Course content should start by the famous fablebutterfly infect, followed by the introduction of chaos and fractal, self-organization and complex system theory concept, theoretical framework, and their application in the medical field The teaching material should refer to some popular science books, such as Mystery of the butterfly effect. The teaching method should draw lessons from metaphor.
ABSTRACT
Objective To provide references for epidemiology teaching reform by investigating scores of epidemiological exam and applications of epidemiologic course content in practice.Methods The epidemiological exam scores of students majoring in preventive medicine from 2004 to 2007 grade were statistically analyzed and questionnaire survey was carried out among students of 2006 and 2007 grade.Results The skewness of epidemiological scores from four garades were negative skew,and the kurtosis of 2007 grade was positive,the others were negative;there were statistical differences among the average scores of different grades(F=2.70,P＜0.05);there were statistical differences between 2004 grade and other grades in passing rate(x2=7.94,P＜0.008).Most of the contents applied in survey were prevention and control of infectious deseases(16.0％),prevention and control of chronic diseases(13.9％),surveillance of diseases(11.8％).Conclusions Epidemiology teaching reform should be enhanced and should integrate theory with practice.
ABSTRACT
How to select and organize the content of course is an important component in curriculum reform. The special part for medicine in medical physics has characteristics of medical college, and is essential. The integration of this part is difficulty in curriculum reform of medical physics. In detail, the corresponding part of physics for medicine is integrated into a topic, which followed the part of classical physics. We adopted the method of special-topic teaching. Based on teaching experiences and in combination with the practical condition of the medical college, this paper selects and recombines some course content for medicine from medical physics, which is adopted by five-year medical students. Furthermore, some teaching requirement and guidance suggestion are presented.
ABSTRACT
Forensic biology is a main subject of forensic medicine.With the rapid development of science and technology,the courses should be constantly improved.New teaching mode has come into being application of multimedia technology in theoretical lessons,case teaching,independent completion of experimental lessons,which is thanks to the constant reinforcement of teaching staff and the reform of course content and teaching methods.
ABSTRACT
This paper deals with the program for the course content concordance of medical physics for the five-year medical students based on the course theory,in combination with the practical condition of the medical college,and by means of the study of course theory,course objectives and the textbook.
