“南湘雅,北协和”:我国早期的教会医学校

The Early Missionary Medical Colleges in Late Imperial China

教会医学校是我国近代西医教育的摇篮,为我国培养出了第一批西方医学的专业人才,功不可没。文章以"南湘雅,北协和"为例,总结了早期这些学校的办学特点,发现:早期的这些学校在办学过程中,都得到了当时国内各界人士的帮助;各个学校的课程设置基本一致;用英语进行教学的学校不多,但是质量却普遍较好;这个时期,由于生源等各方面的影响,各个学校的办学规模还不大,毕业生人数也不多,但是,部分学校的教学设备已经比较完备,而且也有少数教师在从事基础课的研究工作。随着1926年中国生理学会在北京协和医科大学成立,教会医学校也从最开始单纯的教学,转向了教学与科研相结合的道路。

The early missionary medical colleges played important roles during the process of the modern medicine spreading in China.This paper gives an account of the history of the colleges and their training courses,including the Peking Union Medical College and the Hsiang-Ya Medical College.Many Chinese people funded these colleges and the medical missionaries in China at that time prepared the best textbooks and teaching facilities for the colleges.Very few colleges accepted English as their teaching language,but they achieved good results.In this early period of time,there were not great amount of graduates from these colleges,but the laboratories were sufficiently equipped and some teachers started their research activities in several colleges.These colleges represent a new era in the history of the modern medical education in China.
