Abstract:
The new synergistic education model integrating the “five arts” medical talent cultivation philosophy and the red doctor spirit could form a virtuous cycle of “spiritual guidance-technological breakthrough-spiritual reshaping” in the field of military medical education. Addressing the existing challenges in the process of military medical cadets’ training, such as mission awareness, humanistic care, battlefield rescue, and emergency response, this study proposed integrating the red doctor spirit, characterized by political steadfastness, healing the wounded and rescuing the dying, selfless devotion, relentless pursuit of excellence, and seeking truth and innovation, into the training system under the guidance of the “five arts” philosophy, including establishing a foundation through Daoist arts, forging the soul with benevolence, empowering through academia, tempering through technology, and nurturing the mind through artistry. A cultivation model was constructed featuring “moral education as the priority and cultivating through soul-forging; military spirit as the root and medical professionalism as the foundation and training for warfare; mastery in medicine for battlefield success and cultivating talent through rigorous scholarship.” Furthermore, through pathways including the optimization and implementation of the curriculum system, the enhancement and innovation of practical teaching, the development and training of the faculty team, and the improvement and innovation of the evaluation system, this model assisted in achieve the goal of cultivating compound talents with “the red medicine essence plus the five arts foundation.” These talents also built their foundation on the “five arts” philosophy, forge their spirit with the red doctor spirit, and was tempered with battlefield adaptability.
