Abstract:
The organ system-integrated curriculum system overcomes the limitations of single teaching methods and the drawbacks of neglecting holism and interconnectedness, effectively transforming knowledge into competency. Tianjin Medical University has pioneered the "double-track integrated teaching reform" to align with the objective of training undergraduate clinical medical talents. This system is centered on the eight major human body systems, breaking traditional disciplinary boundaries and achieving systematic integration of basic medical and clinical courses. First implemented in 2019 in the "5+3" clinical and pediatric programs, the system has undergone three rounds of teaching practice since 2021, forming a distinctive integrated curriculum system. Using the circulatory system as a model, the reform reorganized teaching content, developed specialized textbooks, and assembled interdisciplinary teaching teams, fostering a shared instructional approach through cross-disciplinary training. The teaching model integrates theoretical and practical learning with curriculum-based ideological and political education, employing problem-based learning to encourage self-directed study and leveraging an online-offline mixed approach to enhance teaching effectiveness. An innovative closed-loop assessment system incorporating formative evaluation has been established, integrating multidimensional feedback from exam analysis, student and faculty questionnaire surveys, and teaching supervision to continuously optimize curriculum development. The reform has significantly enhanced medical students' professional competencies and overall capabilities, providing an innovative paradigm for training high-level medical professionals in the new era.
