华西-西藏远程医学教育实践与思考

West China-Tibet Telemedical Education

支援西藏是我国中央政府的一项重要决策。针对我国西藏地广人稀、医学教育水平较低、医疗卫生人员缺乏的实际情况,四川大学华西医学中心通过引进外资,建立了华西西藏远程医学教育系统。本文介绍了华西以这套远程卫星传输系统为基础,成功地建立了医学师资培训、医学课程传输、网上演示、医学生实习和西藏现场授课辅导的医学教育援助体系。

It has always been an important policy of the Chinese government to provide aid and assistance for the development of Tibet. With nearly one-eighth of China＇s total land areas and about 0.002% of China＇s total population, the Tibet Autonomous Region lags behind the domestic average level in medical education and is in bad need for medical professionals. The West China Center of Medical Sciences （WCCMS） of Sichuan University has managed to introduce US projects to set up the West China Tibet Telemedical Education System to transmit medical courses in a real-time and interactive way. Based on this system, WCCMS has established a model for assisting the Tibet University Medical College through transmitting medical courses, training their medical faculty, sending WCCMS faculty to work in Tibet and admitting medical teachers and students from Tibet to study and be trained at West China Medical School and Hospital.
