By retrieving the 1900-2016 medical education-related essays from the web of science database, UCINET software was used to build the national cooperation network and its nested visualization software, and NetDraw was used to visualize the country cooperation networks in different time windows. We found that international medical education papers began to show exponential growth until 1945 and international cooperation did not begin to become dense until 1961. With the increasing number of participating countries in international medical education, the cooperation factions formed more complicated. The intensity of international cooperation between the United States, Britain and other major international medical education powers has been declining from 1991 to 2016. Between Brazil and China, during 1996-2016, the center of cooperation network has been on the rise for a long time, and the intensity of Canada's cooperation in medical education research has been on the rise for nearly 25 years. The center of international medical education is gradually being transferred from the United States to Canada.
通过从科学网数据库中检索1900 - 2016年与医学教育相关的论文，使用UCINET软件构建国家合作网络及其嵌套可视化软件，并使用NetDraw对不同时间窗口的国家合作网络进行可视化。我们发现，国际医学教育论文直到1945年才开始呈现指数增长，而国际合作直到1961年才开始变得密集。随着参与国际医学教育的国家数量增加，形成的合作派别更加复杂。1991年至2016年，美国、英国等主要国际医学教育强国之间的国际合作强度一直在下降。1996 - 2016年期间，巴西和中国之间合作网络的中心长期呈上升趋势，加拿大在医学教育研究方面的合作强度近25年来一直在上升。国际医学教育的中心正逐渐从美国转移到加拿大。
