Abstract:
The construction of the National Medical Center and the National Regional Medical Center in the Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle (referred to as the dual medical center construction) faces the challenges of insufficient integration of industry, academia, research, and medicine, as well as limited joint development and sharing of high-quality resources. It is urgent to promote the integration and coordinated development of regional education and technology talent resources through the integration of higher medical education, and to enhance the "four chains" synergy with the integration of industry and education as the core, thereby promoting the dual medical center construction. This study investigated and summarized the key issues in the dual medical center construction and the integration of higher medical education in the Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle. Based on the theoretical framework of four chain coordination (industry chain-talent chain-education chain-city chain), this study clarified the mechanisms by which integrated higher medical education can promote dual medical center construction. The study found that the integration of higher medical education can effectively promote the optimization of resources for dual medical center construction by constructing a collaborative mechanism of "industry education integration-joint talent cultivation-coordinated discipline construction-intercity cooperation". Based on the strengths in higher education resources in Chengdu and Chongqing, a five-dimension collaborative path was proposed: integrated development; technological leadership; talent oriented; government guidance; and market assistance. The research conclusion not only enhances the understanding of the integration of higher medical education, but also provides theoretical basis and practical reference for the dual medical center construction in the Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle. The proposed coordinated development also has reference value for the construction of medical centers in urban agglomerations such as the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Urban Agglomeration and the Yangtze River Delta.
