Instructional Design for Optimizing Biochemical Chemistry Education Using Basic Medical Knowledge

Abstract

Biochemical chemistry, as one of the core courses in medical education, involves the structure, function, metabolism, and other key contents of human biomolecules, which is of great significance in cultivating students' scientific literacy and clinical practice ability. However, the traditional teaching of biochemical chemistry is often based on independent chemical concepts and lacks organic integration with basic medical knowledge, leading to a decline in students' interest in learning and poor learning results. Therefore, there is an urgent need to optimize the teaching design of biochemical chemistry using basic medical knowledge to provide students with a more in-depth learning experience and lay a solid foundation for future medical practice. The article discusses the application of basic medical knowledge in biochemical chemistry education from the aspects of anatomy, physiology, and pathology, and proposes three teaching design strategies, namely, case study, modularized learning, and experimental learning.
