破解村医留不住,浙江安吉探索“从村里来回村里去”
Di Yi Cai Jing· 2026-01-20 05:21
为补充基层医疗力量,国家自2010年起推行农村订单定向医学生免费培养政策。然而,理想与现实之间 存在落差。中国卫生发展研究中心一项发表在《英国医学杂志》上的研究显示,订单定向医学生毕业后 仅约38.54%留在基层。职业发展空间有限、工作条件相对艰苦、与城市生活的落差,使得"下不去、留 不住"成为普遍现象。 "2013年,浙江中医药大学依托'浙江省中医人才培养创新实验区教改项目',着手开展农村定向培养五 年制中医学专业试点,但定向培养的学生职业预期与就业单位存在落差,仍然没有破解乡村医生'下不 去、留不住'的老大难问题。"黄文秀说。 为了改变农村医疗服务的现状,2007年,安吉面向全省招录大学生村医。由于没有编制、待遇不高、交 通不便、方言不通,5年内招录的71名大学生村医,无一留在农村。此后安吉调整策略,于2012年开始 面向县内招录定向培养的大学生村医,并且给予编制,但效果仍不理想。据了解,当时328名定向培养 的大学生村医,基本没有留在村里当村医的。 2018年之前,安吉共建有村级卫生服务站134家,在职村医135人,他们大多是没有编制的"赤脚医生", 老龄化严重,其中60周岁以上的占了一半。 为了解决乡 ...

当心披着“名校光环”的招生骗局
Xin Lang Cai Jing· 2026-01-16 08:48
面对各类招生信息,考生和家长一定要擦亮双眼,认准哪些是官方权威信息,哪些是小道信息。要摒弃 侥幸心理,与其在找捷径上费神,不如沉下心来提升实力,用真实力说话。高校、教育行政、网信、市 场监管等部门也要联手发力,打击虚假招生营销,为考生和家长撑起一片干净的蓝天。(房子芯) 寒假将至,网络上各类招生信息层出不穷。日前,清华大学、北京大学等多所高校接连发声,对冒用校 名、虚假招生信息及违规活动进行辟谣。 原标题:当心披着"名校光环"的招生骗局 "教授内推""寒假学堂"等等,都是假的!这背后,是不法分子用名校光环"拿捏"大众侥幸心理的虚假营 销,甚至是诈骗行为。考生和家长如果轻信这些消息,轻则搭上时间和金钱成本,重则可能耽误升学机 会。于高校而言,这是对高校名誉权、公信力的侵害。同时,这类不实信息的传播,还会扰乱清朗的网 络空间和正常的招生秩序,损害教育公平。 ...
探索文创教学与地方文化融合新路径
Xin Lang Cai Jing· 2026-01-15 22:30
(来源:新华日报) □ 徐哲坤 从人才培养维度看,当前高校文创人才培养常存在"重技能、轻文化""重理论、轻实践"的短板,导致学 生设计作品缺乏地域特色与文化灵魂。而与地方文化融合的教学模式,能有效弥补这一不足。例如,河 套学院通过让学生实地调研河套文化博物馆馆藏文物、走访非遗代表性传承人,深入了解河套地区"水 旱码头"的商业文化、"多民族共居"的民俗特色后,再开展文创产品设计。 从服务社会维度看,高校文创教学与地方文化的融合,是推动地方文化产业发展的重要动力。河套学院 通过将学生的优秀文创设计与地方企业合作转化,推出了一系列兼具文化性与实用性的产品。如提取河 套剪纸元素设计的旅游纪念冰箱贴,结合河套民歌歌词创作的文创笔记本。不仅丰富了当地文旅产品品 类,还带动了相关产业链发展,部分产品甚至成为当地文旅推广的"名片",进一步提升了河套文化的知 名度与影响力。 高校文创教学与地方文化深度融合的新路径 革新教学理念是前提。树立"文化赋能创意"的教学理念,将地方文化贯穿文创教学全过程。一方面,引 导教师转变认知,将地方文化视为提升教学质量、彰显办学特色的核心资源,在课程目标设定、教学内 容设计中主动融入地方文化元素; ...
