First of all, basic medicine mainly includes the following: human body (system, local, fault) anatomy, histology, embryology, physiology, biochemistry, microbiology, parasitology, immunology, disease Physiology, pathophysiology, pharmacology, toxicology, molecular biology and epidemiology.

For a third-year non-clinical medical student like me (but the content is the same as clinical medicine), basic medicine, as the name implies, is the basis for medicine or clinical medicine to carry out work, research, treatment, and examination. Knowledge.

It can be seen from the order of the curriculum of medical universities that the first thing medical students learn in the first semester of the first year of university is not the professional courses, but physics and chemistry (basic chemistry, organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry ), advanced mathematics and compulsory English. This is because in future study and work, diagnostic standards, laboratory inspection indicators, instrument operations, medical testing experiments and various data must be reflected through the knowledge of mathematics, physics and chemistry. This is what doctors It's because I'm a science student. From the first semester of freshman to sophomore year, I will study systematic anatomy, histology and embryology (two courses in one book), physiology, biochemistry (physiology and biochemistry, must have one thing), molecular biology, immunology (the most disgusting), microbiology , parasites, medical ethics, pharmacology, pathophysiology, medical psychology, medical computers, diagnostics, and traditional Chinese medicine in the first semester of the third year. Internal medicine, internal medicine, surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, medical imaging, oral science, otolaryngology and head and neck surgery, dermatology and venereology, infectious diseases, and ophthalmology in the second semester of the junior year.

I think that basic medical subjects are truly the father of clinical medicine. Do not understand the structure of the human body (anatomy), the composition of normal body fluids (sick patients), the mechanism and principles of biochemical reactions in the human body (molecular biology, microbiology,), the origin, path, and evolution of human cell tissues (embryonic). Pathogens of infection (immunology, parasites), drug action mechanisms, toxic side effects (pharmacology, toxicology), it is impossible to diagnose diseases in clinical work, and it is impossible to diagnose or exclude a certain disease based on the feedback results of laboratory tests and auxiliary examinations. Treat the symptoms, use surgery to find the diseased tissues and organs, etc... I can't list them all.

At first, I felt that each course was self-contained, and medicine was really too complicated. Gradually, interdisciplinary knowledge began to have certain rules, and then I was told that we struggled to learn every subject of mechanics. A textbook that is thicker than a Chinese dictionary can be expanded into a specialist book, and I feel that for medicine, "there is no end to learning" and "live and learn" are wise sayings. Even if we spend our whole lives, we have only seen the tip of the iceberg of medical knowledge. That’s all, not to mention that today’s endless new medical discoveries and new technologies are all based on basic medical knowledge from more than a hundred years ago.
