Abstract

Cultural shock is one of the most striking problems in the cross-cultural adaptation of international students in clinical medicine in China. Based on the theory of cultural shock and practical education and administration for international students, this paper analyzes the causes of cultural shock in international students of clinical medicine from the perspectives of anxiety for academic prospect, insufficient cultural acceptance, psychological features, Chinese language proficiency and so on, and puts forward some strategies to overcome cultural shock and accelerate the cross-cultural adaptation, aiming to improve the quality of international students education and administration and promote the successful cross-cultural communication.
