Chinese medicine: from rural hospitals to top three hospitals in Kyoto

Chapter 775 About the Opening of Classes

"Senior Chen Yang!"

Chen Yang came to school and was walking towards Wu Yaolin's office when he suddenly heard someone calling him.

Looking back, I saw two girls.

"It's really Senior Chen Yang."

One girl said happily: "I thought I was seeing things."

"Hello." Chen Yang said with a smile.

"Senior Chen Yang, are you here for classes at school?" the girl asked with a smile.

"I came to see Master for something." Chen Yang said.

"We heard that you were going to teach a class, Senior Chen Yang, and we thought you were here to give a class."

Last time, Wu Yaolin told Chen Yang that he wanted Chen Yang to teach an elective course. Rumors have been circulating in the school over the past two days, and many students are looking forward to it.

Chen Yang is now definitely an idol in the eyes of medical students in Shanzhou Province. He is young, highly skilled, and not overbearing.

"It's not completely confirmed yet." Chen Yang said with a smile.

"Senior Chen Yang, are you sure you want to offer this elective course?" Liang Qiaoru asked expectantly.

"It's hard to say." Chen Yang said.

"Senior Chen Yang, we really hope you can teach the class." Another girl, Xia Siwen, also said expectantly.

"It depends on the school's specific arrangements." Chen Yang explained with a smile.

"Well, then we won't disturb you, Senior Chen Yang." Liang Qiaoru and Xia Siwen said with a smile.

Watching Chen Yang walking away, Liang Qiaorou said to Xia Siwen, "Next year we will be seniors. I hope I can go to the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of our hospital for internship, and then I can follow Senior Chen Yang."

"Yeah, I hope so too." Xia Siwen also said.

Chen Yang arrived at the door of Wu Yaolin's office and knocked. Wu Yaolin's voice came from inside: "Come in."

Chen Yang pushed the door open and went in: "Master."

"Here you go, sit down."

Wu Yaolin greeted him and asked with a smile, "Have you had breakfast?"

"Ate."

Chen Yang said: "I was just planning to go to the hospital, so I came directly to your place."

"Have some tea, then."

Wu Yaolin poured tea for Chen Yang and said with a smile: "I just brewed this year's Mingqian tea. I'll bring you some when I leave later."

Chen Yang doesn't drink much, but he does like drinking tea. The tea from Wu Yaolin is definitely good tea.

"Thank you, Master." Chen Yang said with a smile.

"I went to the hospital yesterday."

Wu Yaolin sat down behind the desk and said with a smile, "You weren't in the hospital, so I asked you to come over."

"I stayed up all night the night before yesterday and rested during the day." Chen Yang said.

"I know."

Wu Yaolin said: "I have read the case studies you have treated recently. They are amazing. You have surpassed my teacher." Wu Yaolin said with emotion.

Through several medical records treated by Chen Yang, Wu Yaolin could see that Chen Yang's current level was no lower than his.

The most important thing is that Chen Yang is still young. With Chen Yang's level, he will definitely become a leader in the medical field like Wen Xiuping, Song Luojun and others, and become a central expert in the future.

"It's all thanks to your good teaching, Master." Chen Yang said with a smile.

"Okay, stop flattering me."

Wu Yaolin smiled and said, "I still know clearly what I taught."

Master Wu Yaolin was very good to Chen Yang. When Chen Yang was still in Jialin County, he would come back every now and then to study with Wu Yaolin at the Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

That is to say, as Chen Yang's level became higher and higher, Wu Yaolin no longer guided him personally.

Chen Yang grew so fast that Wu Yaolin felt like he was dreaming.

"Last time I told you to teach elective courses, what have you thought about it? What courses do you plan to teach?" Wu Yaolin asked Chen Yang.

“I have considered it.”

Chen Yang picked up the teacup and took a sip, feeling the unique freshness and sweetness of Mingqian tea. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Master, I plan to open a course called "Chinese Medicine Clinical Thinking and Classic Case Analysis."

Chen Yang put down his teacup and said, "Nowadays, many students have solid theoretical knowledge, but when they come to the clinic, they are at a loss when faced with complex diseases. In this course, I want to guide students to establish clinical thinking of traditional Chinese medicine by analyzing real cases, and learn to flexibly apply the knowledge they have learned."

"In particular, many students are actually fine in school, but once they arrive at the hospital, they lack confidence. Many TCM students will gradually go astray after entering the hospital. I hope to give them some guidance while they are in school, whether it is dialectical thinking or building confidence..."

At the Chinese Medicine Hospital, there are actually quite a few elective courses, including specialized classic analysis, ancient medical texts, history of Chinese medicine, emergency medicine, oncology, etc. There are also elective courses on medical records.

However, Chen Yang is very clear about the situations of some courses.

Wu Yaolin's eyes lit up and he nodded approvingly: "This is a good idea. The inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine should not only impart theory, but also cultivate students' ability to solve practical problems. Which cases do you plan to select as teaching materials?"

Chen Yang thought for a moment and said seriously, "I want to start with my own clinical experience and select some representative cases. For example, a patient with intractable insomnia who had been treated before had no results after multiple treatments. Through careful syndrome differentiation, I found that the patient not only had the problem of liver depression transforming into fire, but also had deficiency of both heart and spleen. In terms of treatment, I adopted the method of soothing the liver and purging fire, strengthening the spleen and nourishing the heart. After a period of conditioning, the patient's sleep was significantly improved. This type of case can not only reflect the characteristics of TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment, but also allow students to deeply understand the complexity of clinical symptoms."

"Very good." Wu Yaolin nodded with a smile.

Chen Yang is a doctor who has worked his way up from the grassroots level and has many medical records. Wu Yaolin has always recognized and praised Chen Yang's dialectical thinking, in particular.

An elective course offered by Chen Yang will definitely bring different changes to the school.

The most important thing is that Chen Yang is very popular in the school, and there will be no shortage of students willing to attend his classes.

Chen Yang listened carefully and took note: "Master, I will control the teaching progress well. Each class will focus on one or two key issues and analyze them in depth so that students can understand them thoroughly. In addition, I also plan to invite experts from other departments to share their clinical experience and broaden students' horizons."

Wu Yaolin patted Chen Yang on the shoulder and said, "You have thought it through very carefully. Once this course is offered, it will definitely be popular among students. By the way, what do you think about the teaching materials?"

Chen Yang thought for a moment and said: "I don't plan to use traditional textbooks, but to compile a set of handouts suitable for this course. The content of the handouts is centered on cases, interspersed with relevant TCM theoretical knowledge and treatment ideas, so that students can naturally master theoretical knowledge in the process of studying cases."

Wu Yaolin nodded in agreement: "This is more in line with the characteristics of the course. When writing handouts, pay attention to making the language easy to understand and avoid overly obscure professional terms. By the way, how do you plan to design the teaching evaluation part?"

Chen Yang thought for a moment and said, "I want to adopt a diversified assessment method. In addition to traditional exams, we will also add assessment items such as classroom performance, group assignments, and case analysis reports. This will allow us to have a more comprehensive understanding of students' learning situation and motivate students to actively participate in classroom learning."

Wu Yaolin was very satisfied with Chen Yang's idea: "You have a clear teaching plan, and it seems that you have put in a lot of effort. If this course goes well, it will not only improve students' clinical ability, but also promote the reform of traditional Chinese medicine education. However, before the class starts, you must be fully prepared to deal with various problems that may arise."

Chen Yang nodded solemnly: "Master, I understand. I will do my best to teach this course well. By the way, I would also like to ask Master to review the handouts for me and give me some suggestions in your busy schedule."

Wu Yaolin smiled and said, "No problem. Please prepare the first draft as soon as possible and I will take a good look at it. If necessary, I can also help you contact other experts to review it together."

Wu Yaolin asked very carefully, mainly to check on Chen Yang. Allowing Chen Yang to take the elective course this time was of great significance to Chen Yang, so Wu Yaolin was naturally very concerned about it.
