在中国,公共卫生与预防医学的关系多年来一直存在着从概念到内容的混淆与争论。由于概念上的不一致往往导致人才培养工作的困惑。与其他国家不同,20多年来我国公共卫生学院所提供的主要教育项目称为“预防医学专业”。本文译自美国肯塔基大学公共卫生学院教授James W.Holsinger Jr.的著作,介绍了美国学者对公共卫生、医学、预防医学概念的认识及三者关系的辨析。译者对原文有增删,并期望此文对我国公共卫生教育事业发展有所启发。
In China, there has been confusion and controversy over the relationship between public health and preventive medicine from concept to content for many years. Due to conceptual inconsistencies often lead to confusion in personnel training. Different from other countries, the main education project provided by China’s public health institute for more than 20 years is called “Preventive medicine specialty”. This article is translated by James W. Holsinger Jr., a professor at the School of Public Health at the University of Kentucky in the United States, introducing American scholars’ understanding of the concepts of public health, medicine and preventive medicine and their relationship. The translator added or deleted the original text and hoped that this article would inspire the development of public health education in our country.
