The Research Of The Assurance Of The Higher Medical Education Quality In China

Quality, an everlasting topic, is a goal people have been pursued all the time. Every since the 80s of last century, quality of higher education has for more than 20 years attracted people's attention internationally. Up to now, the modern medical science has rooted and blossomed in China over a century. As the oath of medical students goes, "Health is of the primary importance of human beings". Higher education of medicine is not only crucial to the development of China's medical service, but also a matter of life and death for all the people. With the increasingly enlargement of enrollment and popularization of higher education, the conflict between scale and quality emerges and cries out for a forceful guarantee of the quality of higher education for medical science.Higher education for medical science falls into a special field of higher education. Therefore, exploring the quality of higher education for medical science should start with the quality of higher education. It's not easy to precisely define the concept of the quality of higher education because it is an all-dimensional and developing concept. Nevertheless, it can be scaled and grasped from all-dimensional angles such as education goals, processes, conditions and products. Higher education for medical science embodies a characteristic of elite education for its essential sociality, complexity in content and strong practicality. Now, the global criterion about the quality of higher education for medical science has been internationally acknowledged.Establlsing the quality assurance system for higher education of medical science is a well-known practice in the world. The perfect quality assurance system for higher education of medical science includes both external quality assurance system and internal quality assurance system. External quality assurance system, for medical education, refers to the supervision, authentication and promotion from government, medical organizations and other intermediary organs. Internal quality assurance system means the internal quality control and assessment of medical institutes. However, the Quality control of China's medical education is still dominated by the officials and administrative guidance. Emphasis is often put on the external assessment. And the mono-principal part of assessment should be avoided in the near future.
