Western Medicine School of medical is one of the most important part in China Medical University. Since established, the medical school has developed based on the core institutional values: Compassion, Prudence, Dignity and Integrity. On these institutional values, the Medical School sets its teaching objectives to cultivate prospective medical doctors with the characters of being: Altruistic, Knowledgeable, Skillful and Dutiful. To become a doctor, medical students have to go through 6-year course and 2-year post graduate years. For the 6-year school time, in the front 4 years, all professional subjects, such as anatomy, pathology, physiology and so on, are points that students have to get. And in the later 2-year hospital years, students become clerks following the attending to learn clinical skills and technology. After 6 years, students graduate and enter post graduate years (abbreviated PGY in following). In PGY, the goal of them is to operate medical process, to face real circumstances and to truly touch and feel patients’ suffering.
