4.Multiple department collaborative management mechanism in
medical education
Medical education in China includes college education and
post-graduation education, which are completed in schools and affiliated
hospitals [8]. It is significant to improve the management
mechanisms of schools and affiliated hospitals. China has established a
management mechanism for medical education with the participation of
multiple departments, including education, health and finance, to
jointly negotiate major policies and issues in medical education. The
Ministry of Education is responsible for the administration and teaching
management in affiliated hospitals. The medical services provided by the
affiliated hospitals have not changed, and medical services remain the
responsibility of the health department, thus creating a situation where
the education department, the health department and the university share
management. This multiple management is prone to problems of unclear
division of responsibilities and complex working procedures [21].
