英文摘要 |
The study is to explore career developments and life contributions of the elite graduated of Peking Union Medical College (PUMC) in the 20th century, particularly focusing on the military surgeons who moved to Taiwan with the ROC government. The first purpose of the study is to re-inspect the aspects of medical educational work, medical practices, wartime injury studies, epidemic prevention between military and civilians, and social responsibility after they came from Mainland China across the Taiwan Straits. The second purpose of this study is to compare and analyze what the differences were among the PUMC alumni who stayed in Mainland China: on the one hand, they brought the traditional spirit of PUMC, such as conscientiousness, teamwork, dedication and pursuing excellence into full play; on the other hand, they effectively integrated the international aid of medical funds and goods, so that the American medical culture could root and thrive in Taiwan during the post-wartime. Finally, the study will thoroughly discuss the glorious mission and spirit of PUMC in the past, and will provide a fresh and important reference, of value in the current medical education environment. The historical study can inform current medical educators’ efforts at improvements. |
