Construction of integrated organ-system oriented curriculum system of basic medical circulatory system in the practice of excellent doctor education training program

Abstract

In order to carry out the training objectives of excellent doctor education training program implemented by the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Health, an integrated organ-system oriented curriculum system of circulatory system was applied in five year clinical medicine education. The teaching contents of circulatory system from traditional Histology and Embryology, Physiology, Pathology, Pathophysiology, and Pharmacology were integrated and optimized to compile the integrated circulatory system textbook. problem-based learning(PBL)and comprehensive morphology experimental teaching were implemented into the integrated circulatory system curriculum. Diversified examination methods including continuous assessment of PBL were used to evaluate the learning effect of students. As a result, a new curriculum model of circulatory system teaching was constructed. And on the base of this curriculum model, an innovation course research experiment was performed, a digital network teaching platform with 4A(anybody, anything, anywhere, anytime)was set up, and diversified teaching methods were applied. This new developing curriculum system is helpful for students to relate what they have learned in the basic sciences to clinical medicine, gain clinical thinking competence, lifelong skills of self-directed learning, innovative thinking, and ability of scientific research and practice.
