after three years of adjustment and rectification from 1977 to 198, the school order was basically restored. In 198, the educational system before the "Cultural Revolution" was restored. Due to the destruction of the Gang of Four, during the ten years of the "Cultural Revolution", there was no enrollment for five years, and the quality of the three-year students of workers, peasants and soldiers recruited later was mostly unable to meet the requirements of discipline development. Therefore, after the collapse of the Gang of Four, the main consideration at that time was to enroll students and attend classes as soon as possible and solve urgent needs after graduation. After the resumption of enrollment, the school's main energy is used to stabilize the school order; Strengthen teaching management, arrange teaching work and do a good job in basic skills training; Actively organize scientific research; Do a good job in medical services; Improve the working, learning and living conditions of teachers and students. However, we have not been able to take into account the school's planning and business reform, but only started some reform experiments in school administration and hospital management. In 1984, the State Council approved Beijing Medical University as one of the ten key universities in China, with an investment of 85 million yuan and an increase of 14, square meters. In May 1985, the Central Committee of China issued the Decision on the Reform of the Education System. In March 1986, in accordance with the spirit of the Decision of the Central Committee on the Reform of the Education System, the State Council issued the Interim Provisions on the Management Responsibilities of Higher Education, which expanded the management authority of colleges and universities. In April, 1988, the State Education Commission issued the "Notice on the Trial Implementation of Seven-year Higher Medical Education", and decided that Beijing Medical University would start the trial implementation of seven-year higher medical education in autumn, 1988.
according to the party's basic line of "one center and two basic points", the party's educational policy and decision on educational reform, and the state's requirements for key universities, Beijing Medical University formulated a specific construction plan in 1984. In 1985, according to the spirit of the Central Education Work Conference, several opinions on undergraduate education reform were studied and put forward. In 1986, the Seventh Party Congress of Beijing Medical University put forward the goal of "building Beijing Medical University into a first-class comprehensive medical university with multiple specialties, disciplines and levels at home and abroad that can meet the requirements of modernization, the world and the future by the end of this century". For several years. Adhering to the policy of reform and opening up, Beijing Medical University has carried out comprehensive reforms in teaching, scientific research, medical care, leadership system and administrative management, and made gratifying progress, laying a good foundation for realizing our goal.
First, reform and opening up, break the old pattern of closed school
The Sixth Congress of Beijing Medical College proposed that in the future, we should focus on improving the quality of college students and strive to reach the world advanced level as soon as possible. In order to achieve this goal, we must break the old framework of closed school, open up, go abroad, understand the present situation and development trend of medical education in the world, and learn from the advanced science and technology and medical education experience in the world. As early as 1979, Dean Ma Xu led a medical education delegation to visit Australia. The following year, he visited the United States and was invited to visit the University of Essen in the Federal Republic of Germany. In the same year, Peng Ruiqi, secretary of the Party Committee, visited the United States. According to the research of the Party Committee, in order to make our college students reach the advanced level in the world as soon as possible, first of all, teachers should be sent abroad for further study, so that they can be improved first.
according to the decision of the party Committee, the Council has discussed the issue of sending people to study abroad for many times. Dean Ma Xu emphasized that in the past, "on the battlefield, in the rain of bullets, we should dare to risk our lives;" Now learning advanced science and technology, we must not be afraid of difficulties and dare to charge. "
the party's adherence to the policy of reform and opening up has made the party and government leaders of the school further clear about the significance of opening up and realized that the improvement of the school's professional work quality and academic level cannot be separated from international academic exchanges. Refuse to accept foreign advanced science and culture, any academic development and progress is impossible, and closing the door can only be stagnant and backward. The school's determination to persist in opening up is more firm, regardless of criticism, and the pace of opening up is accelerated.
Vigorously organize business personnel to learn foreign languages
Foreign languages are the key for us to open the door to the world's advanced science and technology, and are tools for learning modern science and technology and medical education experience. In recent years, Beijing Medical University has made great efforts to organize business personnel to learn foreign languages and improve their foreign language level. In 1978 and 1979 alone, nearly l5 people in the whole school (including affiliated hospitals) participated in English improvement classes, oral classes and reading classes; Nearly 4 people took part in Japanese elementary and intermediate classes. The school also offers oral German classes, elementary classes and Latin prescription classes. The teaching assistants, lecturers and newly promoted associate professors of the three departments outside the city, and the attending doctors of the affiliated hospitals have basically been trained in rotation.
since 198, Beijing Medical University has also actively created conditions, such as allocating special funds to open guest houses for foreign guests, and cooperating with William? Kerry International University cooperates with Beijing Medical University to hold English training courses for half a year to improve the English level of those who plan to go abroad, and those who pass the examination will be issued certificates; At the same time, it offers English improvement classes for undergraduates and graduate students who have the ability to learn.
Thanks to the diligent efforts of the vast number of business personnel, the foreign language level has been greatly improved, which has reversed the passive situation of Beijing Medical University in the foreign language examination abroad and created a prerequisite for learning the world's advanced science and technology and carrying out international academic exchanges.
Send out, please come in and learn from the world's advanced science and technology and medical education experience
Send a large number of business personnel abroad for inspection and study at public expense, including sending a large number of business personnel for further study for a long time (usually 1 ~ 2 years), and graduate students and undergraduate graduates to study abroad. At the same time, actively support graduate students, undergraduate graduates and other business personnel to study abroad at their own expense.
When selecting personnel for further study, we should focus on the discipline construction and development of the whole hospital, the construction of teaching and research section and echelon training. Therefore, there are repeated consultations on the conditions of overseas students, the major and direction of further study or study, and how to carry out their work after returning home, and it is stipulated that the trainees should report to the teaching and research section after returning home.
in order to make the selection work smoothly and properly managed, the school has clearly defined the responsibilities of the relevant administrative departments and formulated the management measures for overseas personnel.
Up to 1991, Beijing Medical University has sent more than 1, people to the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Japan, Canada, Australia, Sweden, Switzerland, Belgium, Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands and Hong Kong at public expense, and most business department leaders, professionals above associate professors and academic echelon candidates have been or are being sent out for further study. The advanced majors include: biochemistry, molecular biology, tumor biochemistry, immunology and pathology, physiology, pharmacology, genetics, immunology, industrial toxicology, environmental protection, medicinal chemistry, internal medicine and cardiology, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, five senses, nephrology, stomatology, German, English, medical education and management, etc., mainly to understand the present situation and development trend of this discipline and learn advanced. The focus of further study of clinical department staff is the advanced technology and methods of clinical laboratory research and diagnosis and treatment technology. Some disciplines, such as cardiovascular surgery, also set up supporting teams across departments and hospitals to study complete sets of techniques abroad.
These students who have studied abroad and advanced their studies have worked hard against the clock to study modern advanced science and technology, broadened their horizons, enlivened their thoughts, mastered some advanced technologies and experimental means, learned about the advanced level and development trend of this discipline, and made some achievements, some of them have also made breakthrough achievements and innovations in their own fields. This has played a very good role in the training of teachers in Beijing Medical University, the reform of teaching and medical care, the improvement of the quality of teaching, scientific research and medical care, and the discipline construction.
In order to strive for the places and funds for overseas training, the school has won the support of the World Bank loan project and the China Medical Foundation. At the same time, actively support and organize business personnel to participate in the selection examinations of the Ministry of Education and the World Health Organization; In addition, we also strive for the sponsorship of some foreign private foundations. At present, Beijing Medical University has established contact with five international foundations.
In addition, some middle-aged and elderly experts and professors will be sent abroad for short-term and purposeful study visits according to their majors.
At the same time, we also organized some business management backbones to study abroad and learn advanced foreign management experience.
Invite foreign experts to take part-time jobs and give lectures. In June, 1981, Beijing Medical University hired Professor Akio Shirakawa, director of the Department of Internal Medicine of Shuntian University in Tokyo, Japan, as honorary professor, which was the first foreign honorary professor hired by Beijing Medical University. In September 1984, Zhou Lianbin, a professor in the Department of Population Dynamics at Hopkins University in the United States, became the first visiting professor at Beijing Medical University. By the end of 1991, more than 1 foreign and overseas experts and scholars had been invited as honorary professors, visiting professors and academic consultants of Beijing Medical University. They are all scholars with high attainments in their major, and many of them are world-renowned experts, including three Nobel Prize winners and some who have served as the Director-General of the World Health Organization.
The school also invites foreign academic organizations, professional companies, experts and scholars to come to our school to hold classes and give lectures. For example, in 1981, there were 1 workshops held by Swedish scientists in Beijing Medical University, including the biochemical separation technology class of Famaxia in Sweden, the Ames experimental method class in the United States and the clinical pharmacology class of the World Health Organization. In 1982, 24 experts and scholars from 52 delegations came to Beijing Medical University to visit, visit and give lectures. Experts held business lectures in Beijing Medical University on kidney transplantation, ophthalmology pathology, infectious immunity, nursing research design, pathology, health statistics and neurodrugs. According to incomplete statistics, by the end of 1991, more than 4,7 experts from foreign countries, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao had come to Beijing Medical University to give lectures. At the same time, colleges (departments), hospitals, and teaching and research sections have also received some tutors of overseas students to give lectures or give academic reports.
Cooperate with foreign academic organizations to carry out scientific research and professional training
In recent years, Beijing Medical University has successively established the Center for Mental Health Research and Training, the Center for Maternal and Child Health Training, the Center for Preventive Dentistry Research and Training, and the Center for Drug Dependence Research in cooperation with the United Nations Narcotics Control Bureau.
18 doctoral students have been jointly trained with Britain, the United States, Germany, Australia, Japan and other countries. We have established cooperative research relations with more than 2 foreign universities, scientific research institutions and professional companies. Among them, the cooperative project with the United States-Sino-US cooperative research on preventing neural tube defects, has invested the most manpower and financial resources and spent the longest time. Cooperative research with foreign non-governmental organizations has also developed.
Carry out various forms of international academic exchange activities, learn from each other and promote each other, including:
Inter-school exchange. Since the reform and opening up, Beijing Medical University has established inter-school contact and exchange relations with more than ten universities in more than ten countries, such as the United States, Germany, Japan, Canada, Sweden, Britain, etc., exchanging scholars and overseas students, exchanging scientific research, books and materials, learning from each other and learning from each other's strengths.
participate in international academic activities. In recent ten years, especially since the reform and opening up, Beijing Medical University has participated in more and more international academic exchange activities. At the international academic conference, the participants of Beijing Medical University not only earnestly studied the advanced experience and science and technology of their foreign counterparts, but also introduced their own scientific research achievements in a realistic way, which was welcomed and praised by their foreign counterparts. Many middle-aged and old scholars have participated in international academic organizations, some have served as directors or vice-chairmen of academic organizations, and some have participated in organizing relevant international academic conferences. In 1981, Professor Han Jisheng from Beijing Medical University attended and presided over an international conference on anesthesia in Kyoto, Japan, which was the first time that a scholar from Beijing Medical University presided over an international conference. In 1985, Beijing Medical University began to host international academic conferences. In just four months from July to November, Beijing Medical University hosted the Fourth Asia-Pacific Public Health Science Advisory Council, the Asia-Pacific Social and Cultural Psychiatry Seminar and the First Beijing International Stomatology Seminar in Beijing. By 1991, there were 26 international academic conferences hosted by Beijing Medical University, which fully demonstrated the ability of Beijing Medical University to hold international academic conferences.
In May, 1989, Beijing Medical University and the International Orbis Ophthalmic Aircraft Hospital jointly held the "International Ophthalmic New Technology Exchange Workshop". More than 8 ophthalmologists from all over the country had a three-week exchange of new technologies.
receiving foreign students and advanced students to study in our school. Since receiving the first foreign student in 1953, Beijing Medical University has received a large number of foreign students from 5 countries on five continents to study. Since the reform and opening up, Beijing Medical University has also accepted short-term study by some foreign undergraduates and held short-term classes of Chinese medicine and acupuncture, which not only introduced China's excellent medical heritage, but also expanded its influence.
encourage and support scholars, professors and young and middle-aged scientific and technological personnel to publish articles abroad. According to statistics, from 1985 to 1991, the scientific and technical personnel of Beijing Medical University published about 68 papers abroad, which expanded exchanges with their international academic counterparts. At the same time, since 1981, the Journal of Beijing Medical University has also added English abstracts, which has expanded its influence.
actively undertake the establishment of maintenance centers in Beijing Medical University by foreign companies. For some imported expensive and cutting-edge instruments and equipment, Beijing Medical University should organize special personnel to "pick up the plane" at the other side to learn operation technology and maintenance knowledge. At the same time, actively undertake foreign companies to establish maintenance centers in Beijing Medical University.
