The study of theory consists of 106 hours and the clinical practice take up 88 hours. Course Introduction: Internal medicine is an important clinical subject, which has the characteristics of broad scope and consolidated integrity. It’s the base of all the other clinical subjects and associated with many basic and clinical materials. Internal medicine does with physiology and pathophysiology of every system and organ of human being, and concerns about etiology, pathogenesis, clinical feature, diagnosis, treatment and prevention, which has the general senses in clinical theories and practices and therefore be the foundation of learning and mastering other clinical subjects. In the present syllabus, materials will include: Introduction, Respiratory System, Circulatory System, Nephrology System, Endocrine System, Digestive System, Hematology System and Immunology System. The Basic Objectives: The mission of teaching internal medicine includes basic theories and knowledge of prevalent internal diseases, training in basic skills and introduction of seldom but classic diseases. For the terms “master”, “be familiar with” and “understand”, teachers will give “detailed”, “general” and “key pointed” explanation. During the teaching course, teachers will introduce some advancements of modern medicine, will encourage students, in accordance to Practices, to learn by themselves and exchange their opinions, will culture students to think, analyze, and solve problems independently. Teaching – learning methodology:The method includes lecture, ward visit, and laboratory practice. Teachers will prepare teaching plan previously and use multimedia teaching-tools to accentuate simplicity and improve teaching effects. 74 PART ONE INTRODUCTION [Objectives] 1.
