全球医学教育最低基本要求:从梦想到现实

Global Minimum Essential Requirements inMedical Education: From a Dream to the Reality

医学作为一种全球职业,必然有它共同的核心价值观、核心专业知识和技能。基于这样的认识,近年国外不少全国性或国际性医学教育组织对医学教育共同标准的设置进行了探讨。这些标准大体上可以规范为“过程标准”和“内容标准”,后者侧重于界定“结局评价”的结果,是更为本质的教育评价方法。1999年成立的国际医学教育专门委员会(IIME)致力于制定一套全世界医生都必须达到的“全球医学教育最低基本要求”(GMER),然后通过在一些国家的试验运行总结改进,最终达到向全球医学教育界推广,以确保医学教育质量。

Medicine as a global profession should undoubtedly possess a common set of value, scientific knowledge and skill. Based on such agreement, many national or international organizations are recently trying to create standards for medical education. These standards can be basically classified into'process standard'and'content standard', the latter emphasizes the results of so-called outcome assessment, the educational evaluation of which must be more substantial. The Institute for International Medical Education(IIME), an international organization established in 1999 in New York, is striving to defy the Global Minimum Essential Requirements in Medical Education, test their validity and feasibility in a few countries and popularize them to the medical cycle in the future.
