摘要

自20世纪中叶以来

中国科学家积极致力于生物技术研究。然而

我国生物技术教育

尤其是生物医学实验室的技术教育相对匮乏。越来越多的尖端设备和技术被引进到中国生物医学实验室

但却缺乏高质量的技术人员将这些先进技术应用到科学研究中去。此外

传统的教育方式和学徒制教育也鲜有进展。为解决这一差距

四川大学华西医院于2006年在住院医师培训项目的基础上

设立了为期两年的实验室技术培训项目。该项目将科学方法融入到相关学科研究的实验室技术人员培训中

构建系统、科学和有效的规范化培训体系

建成一支与先进实验室相匹配的高水平、稳定的实验技术队伍

提高了研究人员和实验设备的工作效率。本文介绍了近10年来作者建立科研实验技师规范化培训体系以保障医学试验研究可持续发展的实践经验。

Abstract

Chinese scientists have been actively engaged in biotechnology research since the mid-20th century. However

biotechnology education

especially biomedical laboratory technology education

is relatively scarce in China. More and more cutting-edge equipment and techniques have been introduced into biomedical laboratories in China

but there is a lack of high-quality technicians to apply these advancements to scientific research. In addition

the traditional education and apprenticeship systems have been demonstrated little progress. To address this gap

West China Hospital of Sichuan University established a 2-year educational program for laboratory technology in 2006 based on the residency training program. The project integrates scientific methods into the research laboratory technician training in relevant disciplines

and has developed a systematic

scientific

and effective standardized training system to cultivate high-level and stable experimental technician team for the need of advanced laboratories

which has been demonstrated greatly improve the efficiency of biomedical researchers and laboratory facilities. In this article

we introduce the practical experience in establishment and development of a standardized training system for biomedical laboratory technicians to ensure the sustainable development of medical researches.
