Features: This textbook is designed for the teaching of clinical surgery in long-term academic programs. Since 1998, when our university (formerly Beijing Medical University) introduced a 7-year clinical medicine program, it has continuously enrolled students for fourteen consecutive sessions. Teachers involved in the teaching over the years, through curriculum reform and teaching practice, have deeply felt the urgency and necessity of compiling a new textbook for long-term academic teaching to consolidate the achievements of educational reform, further improve teaching quality, and enhance inter-university exchanges. For this purpose, senior and mid-to-young core teaching staff from our university's affiliated hospitals and clinical teaching hospitals, based on the requirements of the Ministry of Education for the cultivation of talents in long-term academic programs, and referring to classic foreign textbooks and other surgical specialty books, combined with the accumulated experience of teaching over more than ten years and the results of clinical educational reform, compiled this textbook. In the writing process, in addition to emphasizing the strengthening of fundamental theoretical knowledge and highlighting the principles of broad scope and adaptability, the integration of theory and practice was also strengthened. This textbook has the following features:
1. Bilingual writing attempt, strengthening foreign language learning
Taking our university's "Human Physiology" as a sample, this textbook attempts to strengthen the teaching of English keywords, enabling students to expand their professional English vocabulary through learning professional content, which is beneficial to improving their ability to read English literature.
2. Breaking through the traditional textbook model, advocating content updates, and broadening thinking
In addition to introducing the concepts, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and treatment principles of diseases as covered in general textbooks, this textbook also selectively introduces some highly promising new concepts, theories, or new therapies and technologies that are likely to be widely used in a short period, as well as some new concepts or regulations that are still being discussed domestically but already in use internationally. This aims to inspire students' innovative thinking, prepare them for work in new environments after graduation, and cultivate their sensitivity to new things and interest in exploring and researching new issues. Additionally, the textbook includes some content intended only for group discussions and self-study, which helps students in later research topic selection.
3. The textbook is accompanied by a CD-ROM with foreign teachers reading and explaining key terms and annotations for each chapter, assisting students in self-learning professional foreign language and improving their listening, reading, speaking, and writing skills in professional foreign language.
Since this book is the first of its kind, with a large number of authors, differences in understanding and interpretation of the writing requirements may exist, leading to variations in the depth, breadth, and range of English vocabulary selection in each chapter. Moreover, due to the urgency of publication and the limited experience and expertise of the authors, shortcomings and errors are inevitable and require continuous improvement and refinement in practice. We sincerely invite all peers in the field to provide criticism and corrections.
