Abstract:
We examine the status and path of the discipline construction of palliative medicine from both knowledge and institutional dimensions.From the knowledge dimension,palliative medicine is driven by the demand of the times and has significant interdisciplinary characteristics.From the institutional dimension,the development direction of palliative medicine remains to be clarified,despite the established foundation.It is recommended that the boundaries of palliative medicine,hospice care and other secondary disciplines of clinical medicine be clearly defined from the knowledge dimension.From the institutional dimension,establishing a pilot master's degree program in palliative care is proposed as a key breakthrough,and the collaboration of multiple stakeholders should be promoted to advance the institutionalization and knowledge innovation of this discipline.
