Human society has entered the age of artificial intelligence(AI). Medical practice and education are undergoing profound changes. The government strongly advocates the application of AI in the field of education and it has been incorporated into the national strategy. The integration of medical education and AI technology is changing the paradigm of modern medical education. This paper introduces the current application status of AI in medical education, and analyzes the existing problems and proposes corresponding resolutions, so as to lay a foundation for promoting the integration of medical education and AI.
" Inquiry-small class” teaching mode is a novel teaching method aimed at cultivating the clinical capability and professionalism and promoting comprehensive development of medical students. Small-class teaching mode prioritize students and promotes deep interaction between teaching and learning. Therefore, integrating small class teaching into large class teaching is essential. This paper attempts to explore the applications and prospects of " Inquiry-small class” teaching mode in clinical medicine education through summarizing teaching concept and design, learning resources, exam reform, teacher-student interaction and other aspects of the course " endocrine and metabolic disease (bilingual)”, offered by West China School of Medicine in Sichuan University, so as to provide more reference for the future " Inquiry-small class” teaching reform.
ObjectiveTo systematically map the development landscape of micro-majors in China, analyze their current research status and core issues, and explore future strategies for their high-quality development. MethodsThis study adopts a research paradigm combining policy text analysis with bibliometric methods. It systematically reviews national and local policy documents concerning micro-majors, higher education reform, and industry-education integration to clarify the logic of policy drivers. Concurrently, it retrieves core journal literature on micro-majors and employs tools such as VOSviewer, R software, and Origin to conduct visual analyses across dimensions including publication trends, high-frequency keyword clustering, institutional distribution, and disciplinary intersections. ResultsChina's micro-majors have evolved through phases of independent exploration, rapid expansion, and standardized national development. The "Double Thousand" initiative has integrated them into the country's top-level educational framework. Research focuses on four key areas: talent cultivation, industry-education integration, interdisciplinary collaboration, and pedagogical reform. In practice, science and engineering universities lead the development, though regional distribution remains uneven. The disciplinary landscape has formed a multi-hub, cross-disciplinary empowerment model. ConclusionMicro-majors have evolved from supplementary learning tools into a vital component of the nation's strategic talent reserve.
