Siheyuan: The prosperous era starting from being a doctor

Chapter 466: Pilot and Medical Education Reform

England.

Editorial headquarters of Nature journal.

In the conference room.

Editor-in-chief Michael's face turned pale. He glanced at his dozen or so key subordinates, feeling helpless.

More than ten days ago.

The American "father" gave instructions, asking them to contact Wang Mengde as soon as possible, wanting him to publish the second half of the paper on cellular autophagy.

Just when they were about to obey and contact the relevant Chinese departments immediately.

Who knew that there was a "traitor" inside who leaked the news to some British financial groups.

Then, things gradually got out of control.

Some forces in England, for unknown reasons, are trying desperately to trip us up.

They openly and secretly wanted the Nature Group to delay the publication time, preferably to publish Wang Mengde's paper a few months later.

Within the group, there were also different voices among the top leaders, which led to their journal not immediately contacting the relevant Chinese departments.

As the editor-in-chief of Nature journal, Michael naturally hopes that the journal can publish papers with world-class influence as soon as possible.

Just when he was trying hard to lobby the top management of the group not to miss the opportunity, the opportunity was indeed missed.

Early this morning, he received bad news.

The American journal "Science", which is also one of their most important competitors, actually secretly contacted the relevant departments in China.

No one knows what price they paid, but the two sides reached some agreement in secret.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Mengde’s remaining three papers on cellular autophagy will be published in the journal Science.

Just now, while reporting to the group, he used his influence to contact China.

But the final result cannot be changed.

They were a step too late and could only watch the "duck" in their mouths fly away.

Thinking of this, he became so angry that he wanted to kill all these stupid subordinates.

In the conference room.

Naturally, other people also realized the seriousness of the matter.

Regardless of whether they were in favor or those who were resistant from the beginning, everyone looked at each other with surprise on their faces.

Everyone understood how great the negative impact and losses would be to their journal if their arch-rival intercepted their work midway.

This is the most powerful medical scientist in the world.

What’s even more terrible is that Wang Mengde is only about 35 years old this year.

According to the general situation of medical practitioners, thirty-five is just the starting point, and the older they are, the better their skills become.

The peak age of Western medicine is in the 40s or 50s, while the peak age of Chinese medicine is mostly when the patient’s hair and beard are grey.

and so.

This most powerful medical scientist in the world will "rule" the medical industry for decades to come.

Originally, Wang Mengde submitted his paper on cellular autophagy to their journal.

If we maintain a good relationship, there will definitely be more papers published in their journals in the future.

But now, because of their indecision, coupled with internal and external obstacles, they were one step late and let their mortal enemies intercept them.

Of course, it was just an interception, so it wouldn’t make them too upset.

But when we think about the possibility that there may be some private agreement between Science journal and China, we have to think more about it.

If this happens in the future, all of Wang Mengde's papers will be published by his competitors.

As one grows, the other shrinks, their influence will continue to decline, and they may even drop out of the ranks of top journals.

Even if it does not fall behind, Science journal will definitely take advantage of this opportunity to soar to new heights.

It is a unique journal that surpasses all other journals in status.

"Mr. Editor-in-Chief, I suggest that we contact Meng De Wang in China through some medical experts.

It would be best to repair the relationship with the other party, even if it costs some money, to strive for an equal opportunity to compete with Science. "

At this time, Deputy Editor Bill spoke up.

He knew now was not the time to hold back.

After hearing what he said, everyone else spoke up in agreement.

Even Wilson, the deputy editor-in-chief who always disagreed with him, did not speak out his objection but remained silent.

"That's a good idea, Bill. I'll leave this task to you. I hope you can do your best to complete it.

When you succeed, I will ask the group to give you credit."

Michael's eyes lit up, and he decisively adopted this suggestion.

At the same time, following the principle of whoever proposes a solution should do it, the task was put on Bill.

China.

Chinese Medical Research Institute.

Wang Mengde didn't know about the situation abroad.

Even if I heard about it, I would just laugh it off.

It has nothing to do with him anyway, and it doesn’t matter to him which journal the paper is published in.

As long as it is beneficial to the country, he is willing to cooperate.

Just like this time, the leader of the relevant department called him and explained why he had to temporarily change the journal to submit the paper.

It is true that Science magazine is quite sensible and made a lot of promises in secret.

For example, we will relax the review of scientific research papers from China as much as possible in the future.

As long as it's roughly the same, it will be looser.

Of course, if the paper is not up to standard, it will still be rejected.

There are only those at the level where they can go or not, and we will try our best to arrange them in the future.

China naturally accepted this olive branch without hesitation.

This is already the best result.

With this commitment, China will have more scientific research results published in the world's top journals in the future.

In this way, not only can China's scientific research level be demonstrated and exchanges with foreign technology be carried out, but scientific research talents can also be honored.

"Teacher, Dean Lu's secretary just called and said that a leadership meeting will be held in half an hour."

In the office, Qian Tong said to Wang Mengde.

"Okay, I see."

As soon as he walked in, he started reviewing the documents on the table before he had time to sit down and drink a sip of water.

As the vice president, he is the head of two departments and is also in charge of logistics.

Every day, there are more than a dozen documents that need him to review and sign, and sometimes even dozens of them.

Fortunately, he had a photographic memory and could read ten lines at a glance. He was also extremely intelligent, so he could memorize many documents after just a quick glance.

In addition, he is willing to delegate power, so for many documents, he just needs to draw a circle and write a date.

There were very few things that required a decision. It took him about 20 minutes to quickly circle all the documents for today, and then handed them to Jiang Lin, asking him to notify the corresponding departments or divisions to collect them.

Then, he picked up the teacup, took a few sips of tea to moisten his throat, then picked up his notebook and pen and walked towards the meeting room.

When we arrived at the conference room, several leaders had already arrived. We greeted each other, and a few minutes later, President Lu also came over.

"Comrades, we have received a notice from the higher authorities, so we have convened a small meeting to convey the instructions from the higher authorities.

At the same time, there is another matter involving our research institute, and I would like to take this opportunity to tell you about it.”

After President Lu sat down, he didn't waste time and went straight to the point.

“The first thing is that our superiors issued a document instructing us to actively carry out scientific research in the future.

Whatever achievements we have, we should actively publish them in top journals without involving any leaks.

Not to mention domestic ones, as for international journals such as Science and Nature, you can submit your papers boldly as long as you have confidence.

Our comrades in the relevant departments have reached an agreement with these journals that as long as the standards are met, Chinese papers will be given priority. "

That’s right, after unremitting efforts, Nature journal finally contacted the relevant departments in China and also made some promises.

Only then did she gain Wang Mengde's promise to continue to "favor" her in the future.

The country also wants to take this opportunity to use the medical industry as a pilot to see what gratifying changes and impacts will come from opening up cooperation and exchanges with the world's top journals.

As for other domestic industries, everything remains the same.

If the changes in the medical industry are in a positive direction, perhaps other industries will gradually open up to communication.

This is also a change in the country's current foreign policy.

Whether in private or in public, we have already had contacts with the United States and other countries, and both sides have a strong desire.

Moreover, the opportunity to break the deadlock appeared as early as last year.

This year, there was a major event that the president came to visit, and Wang Mengde was also invited to accompany him.

Witnessed this historic event.

"Dean, this is great news. Many of our colleagues in the institute have developed a lot of results.

These achievements are all world-leading, but have never been published in papers before.

Now, if I can publish papers in top journals, I will have more opportunities to communicate with top foreign experts in the future.

It will also greatly promote subsequent research work.”

Vice President Shi said happily.

Although he is old and has never been abroad, his ideas are always advanced.

At work, he never keeps anything to himself and is willing to teach his students everything he has learned.

Like Wang Mengde, he handed over hundreds or thousands of secret recipes and proven recipes to the higher authorities.

"Yes, in the future, when our comrades have achievements, we can also let our foreign counterparts know about them.

Otherwise, they would think that our country’s medical industry is underdeveloped.”

At this time, Wang Mengde also said with a smile.

"Comrade Wang Mengde, if you had said this before, there would definitely be no problem.

But now, it’s different. Apart from anything else, you alone have suppressed the arrogance of those foreigners.”

Another vice president quickly took over.

After chatting for a few more minutes, Dean Lu saw that the time was almost up, so he continued:

“The second thing is that Pu Lao and Comrade Wang Mengde, together with some other comrades, compiled a medical book on otolaryngology.

The superior leaders invited many famous Chinese medicine experts to read this book.

Those experts all said that this book covers most of the ENT diseases and also provides unique insights and treatment plans.

The most valuable thing is that the content is easy to understand, from the basics to advanced knowledge, and can be used as a medical textbook. "

"The superiors have also adopted the opinions of these medical experts and are preparing to select appropriate content from this book as a textbook, and then when the time is right, it will be used by students in medical schools across the country.

Here, I also hope that everyone can transform their knowledge into books in the future, so that more students can learn and better serve the people. "

In fact, several vice presidents present here have participated in the revision of textbooks before.

At the same time, he also compiled some medical books with his disciples.

However, they did not spend too much time on it, and the quality of some of the books is not particularly good.

If it was before, President Lu would not have thought there was a problem, after all, everyone had returned their time to actual work.

Every day he is either doing research or treating patients in Guang'anmen Hospital.

But this time, his superior revealed a number that made him feel a little urgent.

That is, the speed at which Western medicine trains students is much faster than that of traditional Chinese medicine.

The number of students graduating each year is one or two times that of traditional Chinese medicine.

The most important thing is that students trained in Western medicine only need to train in the hospital for three to five years to quickly get the hang of it.

Unless a student of traditional Chinese medicine is a genius, it will take at least ten to eight years before he or she can practice medicine independently.

President Lu is somewhat worried that if things continue like this, the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine will shrink dramatically.

Therefore, he hopes to improve the quality of teaching, and the level of teaching materials and teachers is naturally the first priority.

There is no shortcut to improving the level of a teacher, and it takes a long time to improve.

As for the teaching materials, the examples compiled by Wang Mengde gave him confidence.

“Dean, we really need to pay attention to the teaching materials. Many new technologies and concepts are not in the textbooks, and the content used is still from ten years ago.

I suggest that all the textbooks for vocational, undergraduate and postgraduate courses should be revised and updated regularly.

In this way, students can learn the latest knowledge, so they don’t have to learn it all over again after graduation.”

Vice President Chen put forward his own suggestions.

"Old Chen is right. I agree with this opinion."

"It is a good thing to update teaching materials regularly so that students can learn the latest knowledge!"

"I think not only students, but also major hospitals and medical institutions need to study regularly, otherwise they will fall behind."

"That's right. In the past decade or so, a large number of new medical concepts, knowledge and technologies have emerged. If you don't continue to learn, you will be eliminated sooner or later."

Several other vice presidents and leaders also spoke in agreement.

Everyone has seen some drawbacks and took this opportunity to speak out.

This is actually also thanks to Wang Mengde over the past decade.

Not only has the research yielded a large number of results, but it has also put forward many new medical concepts.

These ideas have allowed everyone to break free from their shackles and see more things.

Many intelligent and talented medical experts only lack an idea and concept.

Once this point is made up, endless energy will burst out.

"Comrade Wang Mengde, what suggestions do you have?"

Dean Lu saw that everyone agreed with his opinion, except Wang Mengde who was in deep thought, so he opened his mouth and asked.

After being called by the dean, Wang Mengde came to his senses and prepared to talk about the medical education reform plan he had thought of a long time ago.
