Abstract

Epidemiology and medical statistics are essential courses for undergraduate students majoring in clinical medicine. By studying the two courses, they can obtain the core skills for their future clinical practice. High-level medical schools both at home and abroad have accumulated successful experiences in curriculum, teaching methods and teaching models of the two disciplines. These colleges have also carried out the exploration of the curriculum reform centering on "organ systems integration". This paper summarizes the current status of epidemiology and medical statistics teaching and curriculum integration in representative medical schools both at home and abroad, and puts forward suggestions for deepening teaching reform and optimizing the curriculum system to provide reference for the integration of epidemiology and medical statistics curriculums for undergraduate students majoring in clinical medicine in China.

流行病学与医学统计学是临床医学本科生的必修课程,也是临床工作者不可或缺的核心技能。国内外高水平医学院在两学科的课程体系、授课形式和教学模式方面积累了诸多成功经验,并围绕“以器官系统为中心”进行教学改革的积极探索。本文梳理了临床医学本科生整合课程体系中国内外代表性医学院流行病学与医学统计学的教学现状,提出了深化教学改革、优化课程体系的建议,旨在为我国积极探索流行病学和医学统计学与临床医学课程体系的整合提供参考。.
