Cultivating high-level public health talents with practical abilities by integrating peacetime and wartime training / 中国职业医学

At present, public health education in colleges and universities has many problems, such as insufficient education and practice for infectious diseases, serious shortage of public health talents, insufficient interdisciplinary integration of public health disciplines, lack of a holistic view of public health, and insufficient flexibility and autonomy of curriculum design in colleges and universities. These problems were closely related to the cultivation of practical ability of public health talents in colleges and universities. The new era puts forward high requirements for the construction of high-level schools of public health and the training of high-level public health talents, presenting both opportunities and challenges. The School of Public Health, Sun Yat-sen University proposed the idea of "combined peacetime and wartime training" to cultivate high-level public health talents who can solve practical problems, and jointly established a demonstration base for high-level public health talents training with Guangzhou Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The core content is “one class, one team, one hospital and one center”. The experimental class of "medical, prevention and management" talents, the Sun Yat-sen University-Guangzhou Volunteer Service Team for Epidemiological Investigation, the Graduate School of Guangzhou CDC, and the Joint Research Center of for Disease Surveillance and Early Warning and Risk Assessment of Sun Yat-sen University-Guangzhou CDC has been established. Virtual simulation experiments and simulation exercises have been conducted. It is an innovated training for high-level public health talents. The linkage between universities and CDCs to promote the development of public health disciplines can provide reference for public health personnel training in universities to cultivate high-level public health talents with the ability to solve practical problems.
