History of medicine is an extensive and very complex science. In a simple and classical understanding, it has an informative and associative role. Although it is not easy for students to understand the multiple implications of the history of medicine, its importance becomes more evident during their academic formation. The students must be persuaded particularly about the ethical and cultural values that history of medicine has in their training. Furthermore, history of medicine participates in creating the necessary perspective for shaping the future of medicine in the next decades. This is, perhaps, the most interesting role that the history of medicine should play from the modern point of view of students and young physicians. This paper presents different ways of understanding the roles of the history of medicine regarded from the traditional perspective to the contemporary point of view.
医学史是一门广泛且极为复杂的学科。从简单而经典的理解来看，它具有信息和关联的作用。尽管学生理解医学史的多重含义并不容易，但在他们的学术培养过程中，其重要性会变得更加明显。必须特别让学生信服医学史在他们的培训中所具有的伦理和文化价值。此外，医学史有助于为塑造未来几十年医学的发展方向创造必要的视角。从学生和年轻医生的现代视角来看，这或许是医学史应发挥的最有趣的作用。本文呈现了从传统视角到当代视角理解医学史作用的不同方式。
