Objective To provide a reference for the best evidence-based medicine (EBM) education modelby retrospective analysis and summary the EBM education model of the EBM center of Lanzhou University for medicalpostgraduates. Methods To utilize students’ spare time we changed the traditional teaching method, and instead used problem based learning and academic discussions to teach postgraduates how to design and apply research. Results Sixtytwo postgraduates were trained and completed 73 research papers and registered 33 Cochrane systematic reviews. Twentythree papers were published in foreign journals (SCI) as first authors, 34 papers were published in domestic journals. Five students received awards in the academic conference of Lanzhou University. Conclusion Medical students will benefit from taking part in EBM research. This education model will help them not only understand the methods of clinical research and EBM and improve the quality of their research and their cooperative skills, but also master related clinical knowledge.
It is an inexorable trend that evidence-based medicine (EBM) is being adopted at clinical medicine education in the 21st century. EBM neurology has been developing with the progress of the world of evidence-based medicine and clinical neurology. New requirements have been proposed in neurology education with the development of EBM. The adoption of EBM in modern clinical education will be a great influence: promoting the further development of neurology, cultivating talented doctors, and improving the quality of treatment.

Objective To summarize the online practice teaching experience in laboratory medicine during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic, and explore a new practice teaching mode of laboratory medicine which can provide a reference for improving the efficiency and quality of laboratory medicine education. Methods From June 8th, 2020 to June 30th, 2020, an online questionnaire survey was conducted in teachers and students who participated in online internship teaching and learning during the COVID-19 epidemic to evaluate the effect of online internship teaching and compare the advantages and disadvantages of online and offline internships. ResultsA total of 65 valid questionnaires were collected from 35 students and 30 teachers. There was no statistically significant difference in the satisfaction scores of intern students between online and offline internships [median (minimum, maximum): 100 (80, 100) vs. 100 (80, 100), P>0.05]. Among the teachers surveyed, 90.0% thought that the pre-teaching preparation for online internship teaching was more complicated and time-consuming, 60.0% thought that the online teaching was more difficult, and 63.3% thought that online internship could not achieve the expected results. Both the teachers and students believed that online and offline internships had their own advantages and disadvantages, and they could learn from each other. Conclusions The present online practice model cannot replace the traditional offline practice. A diversified practice model combining online and offline can help further develop and improve medical laboratory practice teaching.
This article is based on the work practice of Medical-lnsurance-Medicine Linkage carried out by the Nanping First Hospital Affiliated to Fujian Medical University under the reform of payment based on diagnosis related group (DRG). It outlines the connotation and extension of Medical-lnsurance-Medicine Linkage in the hospital, including concept definition, organizational structure, the relationship between DRG payment and Medical-lnsurance-Medicine Linkage, and summarizes the specific measures and positive results of the Medical-lnsurance-Medicine Linkage work mechanism from four aspects: medical quality management, medical insurance management, medical drugs/consumables management, and performance evaluation. These experiences are of great significance for improving the quality and efficiency of medical care, actively responding to the reform of medical insurance payment methods, enhancing the level of medical services in public hospitals, and achieving a win situation among the medical insurance management departments, hospitals, and patients.
The main approaches to medical education reform that have been introduced elsewhere in the world, including the integration of basic and clinical sciences into organ-based model, the establishment of a Center for Faculty Development and problem-based learning (PBL) have been introduced to the College of Medicine, Chung Shan Medical University (CSMU) since the mid 1990s. The process of developing the PBL approach can be divided into the following stages: Observation (1994-2000): In this stage, CSMU observed the practice and effectiveness of PBL programs in other domestic and foreign medical schools. At the same time, we assessed the possibility of introducing PBL to Chung Shan. When the authority decided to introduce PBL, a PBL committee was inaugurated. Preparation (2000-2002): In this stage, tutor training took place, as well as PBL case writing workshops to reach consensus among the faculty. To reduce the total amount of curricula and traditional teaching hours, we combined and simplified related curricula, so that one and half weekdays were reserved for PBL tutorials and students’ self-study. A preliminary course about how to learn well, including the philosophy and methodology of learning as well as evidence-based medicine (EBM), was integrated into premedical curricula. Practice (2002-2004): In light of the number of trained tutors and written cases that have been prepared, and the desire that the PBL would be successful from the start, CSMU chose to introduce PBL to the clinical curricula first in a hybrid curriculum design. This meant that the traditional teaching was retained at the beginning. Evaluation of PBL by the students was done at the end of each semester. Tutor meetings were held twice per semester. Advancement (2004-2006): In this stage, PBL was introduced to the basic medical curricula as well as to the premedical general curricula. Based on our experience and comprehensive evaluation, a PBL guidebook for tutors and students has been published and delivered to both groups. We also developed an on-line evaluation system containing the evaluation forms for students and tutors. Excellence (2006 onwards): In this stage, the PBL website and learning resources will be further developed, and we are designing the system for on-line PBL practice.In conclusion, the introduction to PBL for medical education is reasonable and feasible. It requires b administrative support, a long-standing and high commitment of the PBL committee, consensus among the faculty and an appropriate planning and evaluation mechanism.
