摘要

基于国家对医学人才培养的最新政策，北京协和医学院2018年开设“4+4”临床医学试点班（以下简称“试点班”），面向非医学专业国内外高水平大学招收本科毕业生学习临床医学，以加强高层次复合型医学人才的培养。在试点班2023年第一届学生毕业之际，我们对试点班教学改革的实施情况进行了全面的梳理，并对试点班在读学生、试点班教学一线教师和试点班教学管理工作者进行了全面的调研及访谈。本文报告了试点班在招生和课程设置上的举措，展示了试点班在生源结构、知识掌握和技能习得、科研能力和课程评价上的成果。调研结果显示，试点班在学生学科背景多样性上达到了国家对“医学+X”人才培养模式的需求；与传统八年制学生考试成绩对比，试点班毕业学生的成绩水平相当；试点班学生的科研能力培养方面取得了较好的成效。下一步试点班将继续优化课程设置，加强师资队伍、学习资源和教学设施建设，改革学业评价方法，继续深入医学教育改革的步伐，完善“4+4”医学培养模式。

Abstract

Peking Union Medical College (PUMC) launched the "4+4" Medical Doctor (MD) pilot program in 2018

admitting students with non-medical backgrounds from top universities

aligning with national medical talent training policies to foster diverse and eager learners in medicine. On the occasion of the graduation of the first class of the "4+4" MD pilot class at PUMC in 2023

we reviewed the teaching reform in the pilot program and carried out a systematic survey and interviews with students

faculties

and management staff of the pilot class. This article reports on the measures taken by the pilot class at PUMC in enrollment and curriculum setting

and demonstrates the achievements of the pilot class in terms of student academic background structure

knowledge acquisition and skill learning

scientific research ability

and course evaluation. The results indicated that the pilot class had met the national demand for the "Medicine + X" talent training model. More specifically

with a diverse academic backgrounds

the pilot class graduates had academic levels comparable to the eight-year medical education graduates

and their scientific research abilities were satisfactory. The pilot program at PUMC will optimize the curriculum setting

strengthen the construction of faculty

learning resources

and teaching facilities

and reform the academic evaluation methods

thus deepening the reform of medical education and improving the "4+4" MD program as a novel medical education model.
