ABSTRACT
Objective To understand the attitude and current situation of medical English stud y as well as its relevant factors among long schooling medical students so as to provide first hand information for constructing students-centered medical English teaching model. Methods A self-de-signed questionnaire including basic information of students, attitude and current situation of medical English students was given to 134 seven or eight year program clinical medical graduates from grade 2006 to grade 2008 in Tongji University. Questionnaires were collected timely and an-alyzed with SPSS 19.0 and results were described by percentage. Results Totally 132 copies of questionnaire were recovered with an recovering rate of 98.51%. 56.82%(75/132) students had interest in medical English study and 71.97%(95/132)students had a will to go abroad for learning exchange. Main pur-poses for students to learn medical English were ‘professional literature reading’(68.94%,91/132),‘SCI papers writing’(59.09%,78/132)and ‘international communication’(58.33%, 77/132). Main influencing factors of medical English study were ‘boring teaching methods ’ ( 45 . 45%, 60/132 ) ,‘difficult medical English’(41.67%,55/132) and ‘insufficient teaching time’(40.91%,54/132).Conclusions Medical students with long schooling have demand for medical English study;however, most of them have some difficulties in practical application. Measures should be taken from three as-pects including students, teachers and curriculum setting to improve students' medical English.
ABSTRACT
Many software systems have been developed concerning the collection and collation of pharmaceutical information data through microcomputers and the initiation of clinical drug-use consulta- tion","clinical anti-biotic drug-use consultation","emergency treatment of drug toxication","consulta- tion on injection compatibility","data control of clinical drug-use monitoring",etc.These systems are charaterized by their large information storage,rapid retrieval,practical use,simple operation and easy control.They highly satixfactory roles in raising the level of rational clinical drug-use.But a unified or- ganization and planning is lacking in the software devdlopment of drug-use consultation.Scattering and overlapping are not uncommon.A lag in the innoration of softwares and in the replenishment of data does dxist.The functions of consultation are many while those of statistical analysis are not enough. Those shortcomings should be gradually overcome.
