Abstract:
Taking the curriculum "society, the individual & medicine" in university of Ottawa faculty of medicine as an example, the cultivation models for comprehensive quality of medical students in China and Canada was compared. In University of Ottawa faculty of medicine, the curriculum "society, the individual & medicine" is throughout the whole medical education, including three themes of statistics and epidemiology related knowledge, health related issues and professional development. The varied teaching modes are combined with electronic teaching equipment and students' subjectivity in learning is emphasized. Drawing insights from the medical education in Canada, we should focus on promoting early contact and lifelong study of medical humanities curriculum for medical students, enriching the curriculum content, enhancing the curriculum practicality, diversifying the teaching methods, strengthening the teachers' training, improving the assessment system and establishing the long-term mechanism.
