外科教学
1.The best any of us can do as successful teachers of medical students is to instill principles, arouse interest, put the student on the right track, give him methods, show him how to study, and early to discern between essentials and unessential.
—— Harvey Williams Cushing, 1869——1939
【译文】 一名成功的医学院老师,能给学生带来最好的事就是传授原则,激发其兴趣,引导他们走上正轨;教授方法,指引如何学习,如何早早判别必须与非必须。

—— Geoffrey Keynes, 1887——1982
