Medical Education in the US
美国的医学教育
In the US, those people who want to become doctors must attend four years of college or university. They usually study biology, chemistry and other sciences.
在美国，那些想当医生的人必须上四年大学。他们通常要学习生物学、化学和其他学科。
There are 125 medical colleges in the US, but it is difficult to gain entrance to them. In 2001, about 35,000 students applied to medical schools in the US, but only about 17,000 were accepted.
A medical education is also very costly and it costs as much as 30,000 dollars for each year.
医学教育也非常昂贵，每年花费高达30,000美元。
After entering medical school, students spend the next four years studying only medical sciences.
进入医学院后，学生将在接下来的四年中专注学习医学。
The first two years of medical school are spent mainly in class. The students learn about the body and all its systems. They learn about chemistry and medicines. And they begin studying diseases and how to recognize and treat them.
Many students say the first year of medical school is the most difficult. They must remember a great deal of information. For example, many schools require that students remember the names of every bone in the body.
By the third year of medical school, students are ready to use their knowledge to begin helping sick people in a hospital.
到医学院三年级时，学生已经准备好利用自己的知识来帮助医院的病人。
These students work under the guidance of experienced doctors. Students observe the treatment of patients. They also examine patients and advise treatment. As the students watch and learn, they think about the kind of medicine they would like to practice when they become doctors.
During the fourth year of medical school, students begin seeking to enter a medical training program in a hospital. This training program is called a medical residency.
到了医学院四年级，学生开始寻求参加医院的培训计划，它被称为住院医师培训。
Medical school graduates face strong competition to gain a resident position at the hospitals they want most. Hospitals want the top medical school graduates.
