Time: Friday afternoon. Place: 6 - storeyed auditorium of Center for Disease Prevention and Control of China. The speaker is a teacher: International advisor, expert, Robert and Feng Tai of U.S.A. Center for Disease Prevention and Control receive. Course: Effective use in the laboratory. If you think, this is an ordinary lesson that disease accused of the large rich graduate student in the centre, wrong. 32 students sitting under the platform, not merely have graduate student's education, some but also teach to the academic of the public health institute, come from provincial disease accuse of centre meet an urgent need office, the intersection of infectious disease and the intersection of dispensary,etc. and business backbone of organization at most - -Now, they have a common identity: China's on-the-spot epidemiology training project is 10th student. The lecture which Feng Tai receives, it is key course of lasting two months that is explained finally. Later, all 32 students will hurry to the public health event scene in all parts of the country, on-the-spot epidemiology beginning to last more than 20 months is practised. The teacher of medical college is scarce too " On-the-spot ability " "Study universities and colleges' degree to make and educate in domestic and foreign existing medicine, perhaps can train the outstanding clinician, but it is very difficult to train the on-the-spot epidemiology expert with actual combat experience. " China's disease accuses of the chief expert's once mere professor of central epidemiology to see more than once, very outstanding epidemiology doctor, Master degree candidate, the public health problem taken place actually is helpless and without resources. "In fact, even if institute's teacher, even reputable professor writing text books of the public health, the majority does not have on-the-spot ability. " According to traditional idea and educational pattern, will you please train epidemiology talents to tackle ability of the public health event? The once mere professor found, some pairs of epidemiology method doctors, Master degree candidates of high degree, but is not good at striving for the local personnel to cooperate with at the question scene, does not know how to cooperate with other domain experts, wonder how to communicate with the masses, policymaker and media, it is more difficult to make the investigation result produce the greatest public health effect. The similar example defeated in battle because of being bookish and too ample makes the once mere professor very gloomy too much. "If talent's work in the future of epidemiology is the public health event of tackling happening suddenly, study the universities and colleges from the system but not deal with the duty that public health is practised directly in existing medicine - -Most teachers lack the practice chance, office coaching breaks away from the true environment of a gleam of work. " The once mere professor analyzed, even arranged learning on the job at undergraduate course stage, it is very difficult for the undergraduate to step into the key position of practice. The public health question not merely needs experts to prove and " train on-the-spot epidemiology talents, must not lack practice links! " 1985 and 2000, regard as student and probational teacher only, send to the intersection of U.S.A. and disease accuse of centre participate in " whether the intersection of epidemiology and information serve " summer twice ( EIS) Training class. Deepen with EIS officers for several months of scene of U.S.A. twice, participate in the on-the-spot epidemiology work. The so-called EIS, it is in short supply in order to solve on-the-spot epidemiology talents namely U.S.A.'s disease accuses of the centre, training project launched in 1951. EIS becomes the mode origin that global on-the-spot epidemiology was trained hereafter too. On beginning of this century, " experience the scene personally " , as China representative, it is for China epidemiology training projects on-the-spot not to discuss with World Health Organization professor once. At present Feng Tai receives the lecture assistant's disease of China and accuses of the central epidemiology expert Shi GuoQing, once on-the-spot epidemiology train the third student. He tells reporters, trained for first two months key course is studieded, made up of lecture, case and little subject practice, involve the public health event to happen suddenly to investigate the step, case define formulation, cause of disease suppose that takes shape, prevents the control measure and makes, monitors the data analysis and assesses etc. in content. "Connect the on-the-spot homework of more than 20 months, has had a vivid lesson for me! " Between 2005 and 2004, after theory study, Shi GuoQing " came into the scene " together with group member . At that time although disease had accused of the centre researchers already, after experiencing several on-the-spot investigations such as sensational serious disease pneumonia epidemic situation of unidentified reason of Yunnan Province personally, he feels and reaps it greatly. "After getting rid of the suspicious etiology, we propose primary lung plague infect supposing, confirmed by national laboratory,etc. quickly Will comprehend the public health question deeply to not merely need expert analysis to be proved after the on-the-spot actual combat of a wheel, must dare to query and suppose even more! " How to let talents produce and catch up with demand? Nowadays, the on-the-spot epidemiology training project " well-known writer " in China Train batches of public health talents, the units at various levels train the network to be also complete day by day. Since beginning of this century start, have already set up the training base in nearly 10 provinces, China's disease accuses of centre's sending experts to offer technical support for training in all parts every year. But the experts have a secret worry. Join the intersection of order and the intersection of Kweichow Province and disease that 10 issue train this accuse of centre infectious disease the intersection of dispensary and section chief yellow to tell reporter while being gaudy, accuse of the centre to try to train in on-the-spot epidemiology as far back as disease in Kweichow Province of 2004, and propose every county of 88 counties trains a epidemiology backbone. However, although training time is shortened greatly, but some counties can not send people. "Want, let unit reserve some time especially, perfectly willing to set free people is very much difficult! " At present, all parts train the demand to be very great to on-the-spot epidemiology. Train and absorb the young doctor who just graduated from the public health institute for the first time in 10 issue of this order, but every provincial training project still only might target in the researchers of scientific research institutions target. A professor state outright to train and guide a teacher, China's disease to accuse of Ma Hui, expert of centre, in on-the-spot epidemiology, already having over half a century with developed countries such as U.S.A.,etc., the personnel training experience of the public health is compared, our country is still at on-the-spot epidemiology primary stage of personnel training, it is only " on small scale " . The domestic expert saw EIS impact on domain of U.S.A.'s public health long ago, the mode of training in China's on-the-spot epidemiology at present, in improving public health level and ability, also placed the expectation by the knowledgeable people in enclosing. The problem is, even if put into high gear, the personnel training efficiency of the public health is still too low, the output speed of the on-the-spot talents of qualified epidemiology, seem not to far catch up with actual demand.
