We intend to develop a brand-new teaching manual facing the 21 century with media ranging from pictures to letters to sound. This book was written with the intent that it could be used as a set of introductory notes for non-English speaking medical schools where undergraduate medical students are being taught in English. The content of the text is based on the curricular requirements used widely throughout the Peoples Republic of China. It is composed according to the Medical Syllabus published by Chinese Ministry of Education and the exam outline of the Chinese Medical Licensing Examination.
