Clinical medicine is a science that studies the etiology, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of diseases, improves the level of clinical treatment and promotes human health. According to the clinical manifestations of patients, it studies the etiology, pathogenesis and pathological process of diseases as a whole, and then determines the diagnosis. Through prevention and treatment, diseases can be weakened to the greatest extent, the suffering of patients can be alleviated, health can be restored, and the labor force can be protected. Clinical medicine is a science that directly faces and treats diseases and patients. Such as internal medicine, surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, stomatology, otolaryngology and so on. All belong to clinical medicine.
In the structure and system of modern medicine, clinical medicine is classified as applied medicine, because clinical medicine needs to diagnose and treat patients on the basis of knowledge obtained from basic medicine, and the relationship between them is similar to that between basic science (such as statistics, science, culture, life in heaven and earth) and applied science (such as various engineering technologies). But it should also be noted that there are quite important differences between basic medicine and clinical medicine. Not only the research purpose of basic medicine is to understand the mysteries of human life activities (mainly for healthy people and patients, the same below), but also clinical medicine is responsible for understanding life activities.
Compared with the general applied science, we can see that the activities of clinical medicine are not limited to the application of known theories, and its research objects are quite many unknown factors. The research object of medicine is human, the most advanced creature in nature. Human life activities are influenced by various natural and social factors, and its complexity greatly exceeds that of other natural sciences. Although medical activities started almost at the same time as the history of human civilization, and modern medicine also started from modern natural science, due to the difficulty of the research object, the unknown field of life science is much larger than other natural sciences. The same is true of diseases, and new and unknown diseases are still being discovered; Even with known diseases, many aspects of understanding still need to be deepened. However, the disease always needs to be cured, and the patient needs medical treatment, regardless of whether the doctor "knows" his disease. Of course, clinical medicine can't wait for basic medicine to figure out all the unknown factors before treating diseases. It can only try to reduce the influence of these unknown factors and try to save lives. In other words, even if the basic theory is not clear, we should try or solve problems in practice by experience. We might as well call this kind of exercise "groping exercise". Clinical medicine developed in this practice is earlier than basic medicine in history and understanding, which is one of the remarkable differences between it and many applied sciences.
The nature of clinical medicine belongs to both applied science and pure applied science, and it plays an important role in the scientific discovery of diseases. In this way, doctors engaged in clinical work should not regard their work as simple repetitive work, but should see the responsibility of scientific discovery they shoulder, and should make themselves use known theories to save lives and become pioneers in exploring the unknown world while not letting go of all opportunities for scientific discovery.
Students in this major mainly study the basic theory and knowledge of medicine and cultivate the ability of diagnosis, treatment and prevention of human diseases. They have the ability to classify and identify the causes and pathogenesis of human diseases.
Graduates should have the following knowledge and abilities:
1. Master the basic theory and knowledge of clinical medicine in basic medicine.
2. Master the basic clinical diagnosis and treatment skills of common diseases and frequently-occurring diseases.
3. Have the ability to deal with acute, difficult and serious diseases.
4. Familiar with national health guidelines, policies and regulations.
5 master the basic methods of medical literature retrieval and data investigation, and have certain scientific research and practical work ability.
