A Study on the Development of Modern Chinese Medical Education

Abstract

The development of modern Chinese medical education represents a profound transformation in the history of Chinese medicine, undergoing a process of transition from tradition to modernity and from a closed system to an open one. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive review of the development of modern Chinese medical education, analyzing its characteristics, influencing factors, and implications for contemporary medical education. It offers historical insights for current reforms and the development of medical education. Through in-depth analysis of the introduction and initial development of Western medical education in the late Qing period, the coexistence and integration of Chinese and Western medical education in the Republic of China, and the profound impact of political, economic, and cultural factors on medical education, this paper explores how these changes shaped the evolution of Chinese medical education. Finally, it concludes by summarizing the insights of modern Chinese medical education for contemporary medical education and proposes suggestions for enhancing international cooperation and exchanges, focusing on practical and innovative education, and promoting diversified development.
