"Roaming" blood vessels, virtual anatomy technology to change medical education

10th, just 10 days before the national master's student entrance examination. Under the influence of the environment, many colleges and universities have added medical majors, expanded the enrollment scale of medical science, and attracted the attention of students.
recently, the Chairman of the Medical Professional
Association of the Chinese Higher Education Association, the former executive vice president of Peking University, vice president of the Chinese Medical Association, Ke Yang pointed out that in recent years, China's medical education has made great progress, but there are also problems such as outdated teaching methods and unealigned development of disciplines. She suggested strengthening the application of online resources and virtual teaching AI in education and teaching, and strengthening public health medicine education.
new crown outbreak has tested the level of medical care and put forward new requirements for medical education. What are the challenges of medical education in the new era? How can modern science and technology better serve medical education? In this regard, science and technology daily reporter interviewed the relevant experts." is not every medical student likes or suitable for medical study, many children because of parental requirements and choose medicine. Teachers tend to focus more on the teaching of hard knowledge such as medical technology, humane care education and life education in the field of medicine is not enough. "When it comes to medical education in the new era, Li Wei, a professor at kunming Medical University's School of Pharmacy, told Science and Technology Daily.
Chen Dan, an orthopaedic doctoral student, said of the problems in medical education: "Many medical school teaching methods are still mainly to impart knowledge of teaching materials, the theoretical link is not enough, many complex and profound knowledge point students can not intuitively understand." He read, "But the teacher also has no way, medicine needs to remember too much, there are too many obscure concepts, knowledge points and so on." The
medical school in China is very heavy. At present, many medical school teachers in China shoulder-to-shoulder teaching, scientific research and clinical "three jobs". In Li's view, scientific research papers should be written in clinical, patient needs-oriented, scientific research to promote teaching. She said that since the "breaking of the five", the phenomenon of heavy scientific research and light teaching has improved.
but medical practice teaching in the undergraduate stage also has its own "helplessness." Reporters learned that some medical students feel that the undergraduate stage of the institutions are not ideal, hope to study to change the status quo, clinical practice has become a "walk through the field." Chen Dan admitted: "Like many majors, the environment makes medical students more to examination and research as a way out, in order to prepare for the exam can not devote themselves to the internship of students are not in the minority."
Li Wei is very supportive of medical students, she believes that medicine is a knowledge-intensive discipline, the undergraduate stage has a preliminary understanding of the disease, the treatment of difficult diseases need to train specialized practical high-level medical students. But she reminded that the examination and internship time should be as staggered as possible, do not interfere with each other, "often the examination and research students test scores are high, but the medical technology operation skills are relatively insufficient, need to strengthen the examination in the future, medical practitioners examination, such as practical assessment, improve the level of practical operation of students."medical students need to learn a lot. He Feng,
of the School of Medical Sciences and Engineering, Tianjin University's Medical Department, notes that the vast majority of medical students get up early every day and often endorsement by the lake in the early morning.
" modern technology constantly innovates the traditional medical teaching model. He Feng said that with the rapid integration of modern science and technology into medical education, the traditional knowledge transmitted by words is becoming more vivid and easy to understand. With artificial intelligence and virtual reality (VR) technology, the anatomy of the human body is visually displayed in three-dimensional display, allowing students to see through the human body and see how the world's most sophisticated instrument works.
reporter learned that in 2018 He Feng's Tianjin University in China's first intelligent medical engineering major, in the past two years more than 20 institutions across the country set up this specialty, promoting the combination of medical education and artificial intelligence, medicine and engineering integration and development.
" before the teachers through books, wall charts, models and other teaching aids and physical specimens to students to show and teach human anatomy, the lack of static teaching aids and specimens can not present such dynamic life phenomena as blood flow, cardiac throbbing. He Feng says students can now learn anatomy using VR glasses, and their immersion makes teaching significantly more effective than traditional wall charts. Virtual anatomy table contains layer by layer stripping the virtual human body of skin, muscles, bones, nerves and other systems, virtual anatomy software can even let students into the digestive tract, blood vessels to "roam", and augmented reality (AR) technology, can be directly superimposed on the human body, but also superimposed ultrasound on the mannequin, making the effect of organ activity more intuitive and realistic.
technology quietly transforms the clinical practice and training methods of medical students. "Unlike traditional model aids, CPR mannequins connect a variety of sensors to collect data by pressure, frequency, etc., and students practice repeatedly in receiving feedback to achieve the correct skill in pressing techniques," He said. He points out that traditional medical education costs a lot of money to try and error, and the training of doctors is very long. Under the support of modern technology, medical students can strengthen training in a relatively short period of time through virtual reality technology and accumulate more clinical experience, which is expected to shorten the training cycle.
Not only that, with the help of 5G broadband, low latency and other characteristics of panoramic surgery live broadcast, so that students can watch the operation process of famous doctors through television and other terminals, with the help of the main knife doctor wearing a headset camera, but also from a first-person perspective to observe surgical techniques, increase clinical surgical experience. Relying on 3D printing technology, orthopaedic trauma modeling, built-in material production is simpler and more flexible, and pre-surgery planning is more clear and intuitive.
" integration of medicine and high-tech, along with VR, AR and other technologies itself mature and develop, some concept products have matured. In particular, with the help of advanced technologies such as force feedback, some systems have evolved from mere demonstration to comprehensive operational skills training. In the near future, medical education under the support of modern science and technology will certainly be more closely integrated with clinical practical applications. "He Feng is confident about this.
hope that virtual technology, artificial intelligence technology in the third- and fourth-tier cities of medical colleges and universities also carried out, the human anatomy more detailed, visual presentation in front of students, the regular operation of various departments for physical simulation. This will promote the further development of medical education. Chen Dan said of the promise of science and technology to support the service of medical education.the outbreak, there has been a marked increase in the number of medical students enrolled. He Feng noted that the emotional and personnel traces of medical teams throughout the country have had a wide impact in the media reports, in the hearts of many young students buried the seeds of determined to learn medicine;
Li said that online teaching is more normal, online medical education resources are constantly being excavated and developed, medical science education is more widespread and widespread, clinical practice-oriented training has received more attention, biosecurity education, public health education has been developed rapidly. "As teachers, we should adapt to these changes with the times, master new technologies such as network and AI, and turn passive learning into active learning; medical schools should start to build a scientific evaluation system for the effects of online teaching and learning." Li suggested.
about the changes brought about by the epidemic to medical education, He Feng pointed out, "The epidemic has promoted the network teaching, online teaching and other technologies to produce qualitative overflights, opening up the sharing of teaching resources at home and abroad, developed areas and remote areas." After the outbreak, the profound changes brought about by online teaching to medical education will not be reversed and will continue to develop."
, there was a clear shortage of public health professionals in China during the outbreak. He Feng predicts that in the next few years, the addition of public health-related majors will become a hot spot for major medical colleges and universities. "The development of medicine can not be separated from the support of science and engineering, the future of medical colleges and comprehensive universities cross-integration and deep cooperation, can make its vision wider and more comprehensive development." He Feng said.
