[Teaching practice of medical statistics in the context of new medicine]

The "Medicine+X" interdisciplinary integration talents cultivation is an important measure to implement the national strategy of "Education Power" and "Healthy China" and to promote the construction of new medicine. Taking the mandatory graduate course of "Fundamentals of Medical Statistics" at Peking University Health Science Center as an example, this paper systematically elaborates on the instructional design and implementation steps of the integrated medical statistics curriculum, and evaluates the effectiveness of the curriculum reform by analyzing the results of a questionnaire survey. The results indicated that after the teaching reform, the post-class test scores, learning benefit scores, and satisfaction scores of the students all significantly increased compared with the scores before the reform [(15.4±2.9) vs. (10.6±5.3), (91.2±9.1) vs. (80.3±29.0), and (99.5±0.6) vs. (97.3±1.9)], the differences were significant (all P<0.05). However, no significant differences were observed among the final exam scores (P=0.973). The teaching practice proved that, compared with traditional teaching modes, the integrated teaching curriculum showed superior effects on improving students' clinical parctice capability and strengthening the application of scientific research methods, providing robust support to the training of new-type medical talents who can have the performance inviolving the medical treatment, disease prevention and healthcare and further promote the in-depth development of medical science.
