Abstract: Starting from 2020, Air Force Medical University has deepened the reform of medical English teaching for the eight-year program. Based on analysis of students' situation and course survey, an IPMET medical English proficiency framework comprising information literacy, problem solving, medical knowledge, English proficiency, and teamwork has been constructed. The university has established an eight-year program school-based medical English course focusing on medical humanities reading, medical paper writing, and military medical English. Additionally, it has hosted activities such as medical English speaking workshops and medical English situational practice competitions. A mode of teaching reform in curriculum construction has been developed aiming to broaden the positioning perspective, clarify the ability framework, and optimize the construction path. All of this comprehensively improves the medical English ability of eight-year program students.
