Abstract:
United States is the world's Medical Center, and American medical education is also a typical representative of the western medical education. This study takes the Medical School of Utah University and Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology as an example to analyze and compare the similarities and differences between Chinese and American medi-cal schools in the aspects of subject setting , curriculum planning , teaching method and auxiliary teaching means. The result shows that both are basically the same in the setting of the course of clini-cal medicine, adopt integration module and PBL teaching, but there are fewer subjects of basic course at the school of medicine of Utah university, and online teaching and studying are more commonly used as an auxiliary teaching means.
