The history of medicine has been continuously devaluated in medical education but its importance should not be ignored as for other medical humanities. The educational value of the history of medicine could be summarized as follows ; it allows the students 1) to understand the humane aspect of medicine by telling them how medicine has dealt with human health-disease phenomena in each era of the human history. 2) to improve the professionalism by recognizing that medicine is a profession with a long tradition that dates back to the Hippocratic era 3) to improve current medical practice by understanding the limitations and uncertainties of medicine. 4) to understanding the historical changes of the disease phenomena 5) to develop the basic competence of learned intellectual. 6) to integrate the tradition of their own institutions with themselves.
医学史在医学教育中一直被低估，但它的重要性不应被忽视，就像其他医学人文学科一样。医学史的教育价值可以概括如下：它让学生 1）通过讲述医学在人类历史的每个时代如何处理人类健康疾病现象，了解医学的人文方面。2）通过认识到医学是一门有着悠久传统的职业，可以追溯到希波克拉底时代，从而提高专业性。3）通过了解医学的局限性和不确定性，提高当前的医学实践水平。4）了解疾病现象的历史变化。5）培养有学识的知识分子的基本能力。6）将自己机构的传统与自身相结合。
