Abstract:
Despite the significant progress and advancement in contemporary medical education in China, it still fails to fully address the needs of developing medical disciplines and nurturing medical talents in the country. There are several shortcomings in the medical education in the representative discipline of neurology. Medical education research in China often covers disparate topics, lacks systematic foundation and theoretical innovation, predominantly emphasizes single-center clinical teaching, and rarely results in the publication of high-impact, internationally recognized research manuscripts. In addition, there remains a significant gap in the level of basic neurology research between China and abroad. As the "Healthy China" plan drives the need for enhanced medical education, coupled with global technological advancements and evolving health needs and medical practice, new theoretical shifts in medical education are emerging. Strategic planning in neurology, interdisciplinary advancements in neuroscience, and the integration of information technology have created substantial opportunities for the development of neurology medical education. However, this pivotal moment has posed new challenges to research in neurology medical education, including transitioning from practical research to innovative theoretical exploration and fostering versatile talents. This article systematically discusses the opportunities and challenges arising from the aforementioned issues and proposes effective strategies to address these concerns.
