摘要

科技發達、分科太細的惡果已經波及醫學，使醫學逐漸失去了它應有的人性。這問題在我國醫學教育尤其嚴重。醫學與人文是平行而相輔相成的。沒有人性的醫學教育(dehumanized medicine)，只能培養治病的醫匠而不能培養治病人的醫師。國內醫學教育者應重整二年預科，使其具備應有的一般大學教育之面貌，並大幅增加人文課程。否則國內醫學教育會淪為職業訓練。醫療縱使在科技上能跟上時代，真正的品質卻會無法提高。

Rapid advance in science and technologe has compelled increasing specialization. Medicine is no exception. The total corpus of acquired knowledge has grown so great of recent years that a physician can now only compass a much smaller fraction of it. In order to give in to the pressure of knowledge acquisition, the humanities have been gradually squeezed out of the medical curriculum over the past several decades. The end result is the dehuminization of medicine. Medicine is the oldest ”learned” profession and has been studded with achievements of illustrous physicians who are broadly educated and cultured. The humanities and medicine have to go hand in hand. Dehumanization of medicine, therefore, already has had a profound impact on the nature of health care and on individuals and the society as a whole. Medical educators of Taiwan should restore the integrity of the two-year premed program by infusing a massive dose of humanities courses.
