浅谈《实验中医学》中实验动物学的教学体会

Teaching Experiences on Laboratory Animal Science in Experimental Chinese Medicine

实验动物学是深化中医现代化研究的必要保证,也是目前中医科研的常用手段。实验动物学的基本理论和实验操作技术是《实验中医学》课程中的重要内容。笔者近年来在《实验中医学》的教学过程中,多次承担了实验动物学部分的教学任务,对其教学内容和方法积累了一定的教学经验,并总结出:在理论教学过程中,应精选实验动物学基本理论教学内容,灵活运用提问法、案例法和总结法等多种教学方法,夯实学生实验动物的理论知识水平;在实践课程中,应以目前中医药科研需求为导向,重点介绍相关实验动物基本技术,并强化实验操作过程中的细节管理,从而有助于学生熟练掌握动物实验基本技术。
