三、德克萨斯大学达拉斯西南医学中心的教研情况
1.UT Southwestern Medical School
One of the largest medical schools in the country, UT Southwestern Medical School graduates about 230 students each year. Educating and training the next generation of physicians is a core mission, and to ensure that UTSW students are fully prepared for the future they will encounter in the rapidly changing landscape of medicine and health care delivery, a new curriculum was launched for the class that entered Fall 2015.
The new curriculum was developed over a two-year period of comprehensive review, assessment, and program design, and it is characterized by a focus on team-based learning, close contact with faculty, meaningful mentorship opportunities, and integrating basic science education with patient care training and experience.
The four years of medical school are now divided into three distinct periods for students – pre-clerkship, clerkship, and post-clerkship. The first 18 months are focused on building knowledge in basic and clinical sciences through rich, team-based learning experiences. The 48-week clerkship period is designed to provide the opportunity to explore clinical fields, with rotations in internal medicine, surgery, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, psychiatry, neurology, and family medicine. The post-clerkship fourth year includes a sub-internship, as well as electives designed to build strengths in the student’s chosen field.
1、德克萨斯大学西南医学院
德克萨斯大学西南医学院是美国最大的医学院之一，每年大约有230名毕业生。教育和培养新一代内科医生是它的一个核心使命。为确保学生完全做好迎接未来的准备，为满足快速发展的医学和医疗服务需求，学院为2015级秋季新生开设了新课程。
该课程的开发前后花了二年时间，经过了全面审查、评估和程序设计。该课程的特点是注重团队基础学习、师生亲密互动，提供有价值的辅导机会，融合了基础科学教育和病人照理培训实践。
医学院原来采取四年制，现在则分成了三个不同学习时期：实习前时期、实习期和实习后时期。实习前时期占18个月，以基本科学和临床科学知识学习为主，涉及团队基础学习，以丰富学生经历。实习期占48个星期，旨在让学生接触临床实践，内容涵盖内科医学、外科手术、儿科学、妇产科、精神病学、神经内科、家庭医学。实习后时期也就是第四年，其间要求到学校附属医学以外的其他医院参加实习，并提供选修课，以提升学生在选定领域的竞争力。
2.UT Southwestern Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences
The Graduate School, with an enrollment of more than 1,000 students (480 predoctoral and 539 postdoctoral), educates biomedical scientists, engineers, clinical researchers, and counselors. Programs lead to Doctor of Philosophy and Master of Science degrees and, in some cases, non-degree certificates.
Future scientists are trained to investigate basic life processes from the molecule to the whole animal. Students pursue their chosen fields under the mentorship of outstanding faculty that include some of the world's most distinguished researchers.
The Graduate School has two Divisions: Basic Science and Clinical Science. These Divisions include the specific areas of graduate studies – Biological Chemistry, Biomedical Engineering, Cancer Biology, Cell and Molecular Biology, Clinical Psychology, Genetics, Development and Disease, Immunology, Integrative Biology, Molecular Biophysics, Molecular Microbiology, Neuroscience, and Organic Chemistry – that lead to Ph.D. degrees. In addition, a Master’s degree and graduate certificate are offered in Clinical Science.
2、德克萨斯大学西南生物医学科学研究生院
研究生院有1千多名学生，其中博士前480人，博士后539人。研究生院将学生培养成生物医学科学家、工程师、临床研究员和顾问。课程通常授予理学硕士和理学博士学位，有些时候也提供非学位证书。
研究生院培养新一代科学家，让他们考察和研究生命基本过程，研究涵盖从分子到整体动物的多个领域。学生在优秀教员指导下从事选定领域研究。研究生院部分老师同时是世界最杰出的研究员。
研究生院有两个部门：基础科学部和临床科学部。这些部门涵盖了研究生学习的特定领域，包括授予博士学位的生物化学、生物医学工程、癌症生物学、细胞与分子生物学、临床心理学、遗传学、发展与疾病、免疫学、整合生物学、分子生物物理学、分子微生物学、有机化学。此外，临床科学部门也授予硕士学位和研究生证书。
3.UT Southwestern School of Health Professions
In addition to physicians, many other professionals care for the sick and injured, perform diagnostic tests, and provide therapy for physically or mentally challenged individuals. These health care professionals hold positions which span a wide array of fields.
More than 330 students are enrolled in UT Southwestern’s School of Health Professions. The school offers a doctoral professional degree in Physical Therapy; master's degrees in Clinical Nutrition, Physician Assistant Studies, Prosthetics–Orthotics, and in Rehabilitation Counseling; and a post-baccalaureate certificate program in Radiation Therapy.
