Simulation made its first impact in specialities such as emergency medicine and anaesthetics; however, it is now being used as an educational modality in a diverse range of specialities - from general practice to psychiatry. Perhaps the greatest pointer of the success of simulation is that it is now increasingly being seen as embedded in medical education and no longer something new and different. So now is probably an appropri- ate time to consider the future of simulation. Where will simulation go next？ It is likely that a number of different themes will emerge.展开更多

China’s higher medical education was very backward. In the 20 years before 1949. graduates from institutions of higher medical education totalled less than 10 000. In 1949. there were only 44 medical and pharmaceutical schools with 18 800 undergraduates. The higher medical education has taken a tortuous course of development after the founding of the People’s Republic of China. The first phase (1949-1965) was a period of prelimi-nary formation of medical education system of new China. During this period, the experience of the former Soviet Union was followed in determining the objectives of higher medical education, the length of the curriculum, specialties, the structure of the curriculum, the contents of teaching, etc. and a preliminary system was instituted. The second phase (1966-1976) was a time of chaos during which the normal educational program was disrupted. The third phase started in 1977. The wrong line was re展开更多
