CHINESE MEDICAL INSURANCE EDUCATION REFORM UNDER CHINESE-STYLE MODERNIZATION

The advent of Chinese-style modernization has precipitated unprecedented transformations in the medical insurance system, necessitating a paradigm shift in medical insurance education. Through a comprehensive mixed-methods approach combining systematic literature review, empirical investigation, and multi-site case studies, this research examines the evolving landscape of medical insurance education and develops an innovative reform framework. The findings indicate three critical dimensions requiring immediate attention: First, the digital transformation gap, where current professionals lack advanced capabilities in data analytics, artificial intelligence, and blockchain applications; Second, the interdisciplinary knowledge gap, highlighting the need for broader integration of public health, clinical management, and economic analysis; Third, the practical operation gap, emphasizing the importance of real-world policy implementation and system operation management experience. To address these challenges, the study proposes a comprehensive curriculum reform framework that encompasses three integrated modules: core courses focusing on fundamental theories and digital applications, specialized elective courses addressing emerging technological and policy developments, and practical courses emphasizing hands-on experience through industry partnerships. The research further delineates specific implementation strategies across three key areas: (1) faculty team building through strategic recruitment and comprehensive training programs, (2) teaching resource optimization incorporating advanced digital platforms and case-based learning materials, and (3) evaluation mechanism reform featuring multi-dimensional assessment criteria. The study's findings suggest that successful curriculum reform requires the synchronization of theoretical knowledge modernization, practical skill enhancement, and interdisciplinary integration, supported by robust industry-education partnerships and digital infrastructure development. This research contributes to both the theoretical framework of professional education reform and provides practical guidelines for educational institutions adapting to Chinese-style modernization. The proposed reform model addresses current challenges while establishing a sustainable framework for future development, complete with quantitative performance indicators and quality assurance measures. The findings have significant implications for policy makers, educational institutions, and industry stakeholders involved in medical insurance education reform.
