  Abstract: [Objective] Explores the structural adjustment and sound development of discipline and program of technology in medicine. [Methods] Adopting historical and comparative research methods, it combs through the development context of disciplines of technology in medicine from the 1950s to the present, and summarizes its developmental trends and inherent rules. Through a comparative analysis of Sino-foreign development of relevant disciplines, it identifies valuable experiences for reference. [Results] In China, the discipline and program construction as well as talent cultivation of technology in medicine are faced with prominent problems, including overly broad disciplinary scope, lack of consensus on talent cultivation objectives and standards, and insufficient integration between medical education and clinical practice. [Limitations] It lacks quantitative empirical research on the supply-demand matching of technology in medicine disciplines and program, resulting in relatively general suggestions for the optimization of disciplinary structure. [Conclusions]to promote the development of disciplines and program of technology in medicine, we need to further clarify disciplinary connotation, narrow the disciplinary scope and deepen the collaboration between medical education and healthcare sectors.

  Key words: technology in medicine; discipline and program; structural adjustment; collaboration between medical education and clinical practice
