Abstract:
In order to relieve the problems including a lack of features in the teaching of public foreign language discipline in medical universities, the teaching concepts of college English should be innovated in the context of new medical science and integrated with the education of medical humanities, while adhering to the direction of English teaching for medical purposes and realizing the reversal to teaching services. With the teaching reform of college English characterized by English for medical humanities in Shanghai University of Medicine and Health Sciences as an example, this article explores the various ways to realize the education goals of English for medical humanities, such as establishing a whole-curriculum system for the teaching of English for medical humanities, editing and publishing academic works of medical humanities, cultivating teaching and research teams for English for medical humanities, and organizing different discipline competitions. It is concluded that the exclusively unique strengths and contributions of the foreign language discipline in medical universities should be fully exerted amid the professional medical education system, in order to make joint efforts to cultivate comprehensive medical talents in the new era.
