Features: This textbook is designed to align with talent cultivation objectives and teaching syllabi, reflecting the standards of long-term education and exploring breakthroughs beyond the traditional framework of textbook writing. It embodies the transformation of educational philosophy at Peking University Health Science Center, the achievements and overall level of reforms in teaching content and methods, establishing a student-centered talent cultivation model. This approach facilitates student learning and critical thinking, enhances clinical reasoning skills, and fosters innovative awareness. It also reflects the "bilingual" teaching requirements in the educational process, incorporating essential vocabulary that students must master.
Each chapter includes English-inserted boxes covering key points, advancements, new applications of old drugs, invention histories, and research methods, allowing students to practice professional English while enabling more advanced learners to delve deeper. The chapters have been adjusted, removing content that has long been omitted, such as seven chapters on "Central Nervous System Stimulants" and "Anthelmintics," and adding three new chapters on "Gene Therapy Drugs" and "Drug-Induced Injury Effects." The figures, tables, and insert boxes are in English, and drug names are presented in both Chinese and English upon first mention, followed by English-only thereafter, with the goal of reinforcing professional English and preparing students to read foreign-language materials.
The dosage forms and usage section is designed to meet clinical medication reference needs as much as possible.
