There are too many things for medical majors to learn. Except for the basic courses in the first semester, I often have half a day off, and the rest of the time is theoretical courses, experimental courses or probation courses. Most medical majors pay attention to practice. Take clinical medicine as an example. From the second half of junior year, I began to study clinical professional courses, and there are corresponding hospital probation courses. There are still differences between book content and clinical practice, mainly in the difference between "theoretical basis" and "practical essentials". However, in the probation stage, the understanding of theoretical content is deeper through actual clinical cases.

In my senior year, I need to study clinical courses and practice. During this period, we will see many typical cases, focusing on the training of "diagnostic thinking". I don't think it is possible to shorten these times. Because the theoretical description is really different from the actual phenomenon, it is basically impossible to shorten the cycle of senior year, so there is the existence of senior year-internship.

Therefore, the medical specialty lacks the study of theory and practice and the combination of theory and practice, so the five-year medical education model is established. Of course, it is far from enough to study medicine as an undergraduate, and candidates need to study for graduate students or even doctors, so there is also a 5+3.

That's why we say three years of junior college, four years of undergraduate course and five years of medicine. I hope it will help everyone.
