Starting from the connotation of "New Medicine" in the context of Healthy China, Guangxi Medical University has launched a reform of medical humanities education based on the concept of holistic medicine and the competency-based approach. With the construction of first-class courses and majors as the starting point, the university aims to position itself, clarify goals, and innovate concepts based on "value orientation", and it reconstructs the education system and reshapes the education model with the integration of medical humanities and the combination of learning and practice, thereby establishing a holistic education system with the integration of medical humanities centered on longitudinally sequenced medical humanities curricula. The university also constructs a participatory teaching method based on online-offline platforms, pre-class/post-class engagement, and on-campus/off-campus collaboration, as well as a teaching assessment system with multiple subjects, multiple dimensions, dynamic evolution, and virtue orientation. The university has also built a diversified collaborative educational practice platform among universities, hospitals, and communities, thereby forming a comprehensive medical humanities teaching model with the teaching of humanistic knowledge, the cultivation of humanistic spirit, and the training of good behaviors.

Objective To study the supportive personnel system reform for implementing the essential medicine system in Guangxi,as well as its impacts on the township hospitals and problems so incurred.Methods Deans (and/or vice deans)and financial staff of 24 townships hospitals were interviewed,while 80％ of medical staff of health centers in 8 counties were subject to a questionnaire survey,to evaluate impacts of the essential medicine system on township hospitals.Results As shown in the outcomes,44.02％of those surveyed were less enthusiastic after the new system was put in place,township health center doctors found their average salary decreased(P=0.027),and the rewarding salary failed to distinguish differences among posts,which all worsened the brain drain of these doctors.Conclusion The new personnel system is found with setbacks of poor incentive mechanism and poor operability.Thus further improvement should be made in scientific measurement of the gaps found in the performance-based pay,and the implementation of thetwo-way flow of medical personnel policy.
