Practice and thinking of curriculum integration reform in medical colleges and universities / 中华医学教育探索杂志

ABSTRACT

Medical curriculum integration is of great significance for reforming traditional medical education models and cultivating new medical talents with competency. On the basis of reviewing the concepts and development history of medical curriculum integration in China, this article sorts out three relatively mature medical curriculum integration models based on the practice of medical education reform in China, namely, organ-system-based curriculum model, and problem-based curriculum model and modular curriculum integration model. It also points out the difficulties of the current curriculum integration reform in medical colleges and universities from the aspects of the construction of teaching staff, the construction of integrated curriculum teaching materials, the design and connection of curriculum, and the assessment and evaluation. Finally, we should deeply analyze the concept of curriculum integration and create a curriculum model suitable for the reality of China's medical education in practice, hoping to provide reference for the practice of medical curriculum integration reform in China.
