宋代医官制度之管窥

宋代对医官制度作了前所未有的改革,创立翰林医官院负责医官人事管理,创立医官名号和阶衔以及地方医官等级制度；医科取士效法太学三舍考选法,考核通过者直接赐医学出身,授与官阶与官职。中央与县级以上行政区都开办医学教育,医学赐第之后许多人做了州县官,占了文官的职缺,引起文官的不满；同时医官队伍庞大,冗员过多。

An Investigation of the Medical Doctor System of the Song Dynasty

The Song Government reformed the medical doctor system by establishing the Royal Medical Adminis- tration responsible for personnel management of the doctors,classifying the doctors according to an official ranking system,and introducing a strictly mandated examination system for choosing doctors.Medical education was made generally available above the county-level,and those who excelled in medical studies were granted governmental posi- tions,which led to the grudge of other government officials and over-staffing of medical personnel in the government institutions.
