摘要
合信是近代中国西医教育的启蒙者之一,他先后通过招收学徒、建立医科学校及出版西医书籍等方式推行西医教育,以实现中国以医传道会提出的在中国建立现代西医体系的目标及传播基督福音。但因不了解学徒的习医动机,所收学徒大都没能成为传播西医和福音的代理人,在香港建立医科学校的计划亦因中国以医传道会的分裂、内外科医师协会的消亡、资金不足等原因而搁浅。不过他的医书在中国影响深远,虽未能够改变中国的医疗体系,但客观上推动了西医在中国的发展。
Benjamin Hobson was one of the enlighteners of western medical education in modern China. He carried out the western medical education by recruiting apprentices, establishing medical school and publishing medical textbooks to realize the China medical missionary society＇ s goal of establishing western medical system in China, and spread the gospel of Christ. However, because of not understanding the apprentices＇ motive of studying medicine, his apprentices mostly failed to be the surrogates of propagandizing and disseminating western medicine. Meanwhile, his plan of building a medical school in Hong Kong also eventually ran aground because of the division of China medical missionary society, the dismissing of China chirurgical society and insufficient funds. However, his textbooks had far-reaching influence in China, which were not able to change the Chinese medical system, but objectively promoted the development of western medicine in China.
