Features: This textbook is meticulously 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 incorporates the "bilingual" teaching requirements in the educational process, integrating essential vocabulary that students must master into the textbook.
Each chapter includes English-inserted boxes covering key points, advancements, new applications of old drugs, invention histories, and research methods, enabling students to practice professional English while allowing those with extra capacity to delve deeper. The chapters have been adjusted, removing content rarely taught over the years, such as "Central Nervous System Stimulants" and "Anthelmintics" (7 chapters), while adding new chapters like "Gene Therapy Drugs" and "Drug-Induced Injury Effects" (3 chapters). Figures, tables, and insert boxes are in English, with drug names first appearing in both Chinese and English and then exclusively in English thereafter, aiming to strengthen professional English proficiency and prepare students for reading foreign-language materials.
The dosage forms and usage section is designed to meet clinical medication reference needs as much as possible.
