Inspiration and Investigation of the Current Situation on the Medical Humanistic Education / 中国医学伦理学

ABSTRACT

The quality of curriculum and teaching determines the quality and level of medical students’ medical humanities cultivation. The research investigated the cognition and development suggestions of medical humanities education of 5 senior medical students (n=5 996) majoring in medicine from 67 colleges and universities in China. Some results were found, The opening rate of different medical humanities courses were different. There were different needs of the medical humanities courses that would be added. Curriculum content and learning interest were the key factors for the curriculum; The large class teaching and closed-book examination were still dominant in the current medical humanities classes. The Medical students suggested to increase PBL, O2O mixed teaching and processing assessment etc. It was found that the teacher-centered mode couldn’t meet the learning needs from the medical students. It was recommended that we should actively adopt student-centered curriculum and teaching mode to improve the curriculum goal, curriculum setting, curriculum content design, teaching means, evaluation mode. It was also very important to improve teachers’ professional ability and build an interconnected learning community for improving the quality and level of medical humanistic education.
