Application and Integration of Ideological and Political Education in Clinical Teaching in Medical Colleges

Curriculum-based ideological and political education is a key focus of modern medical education in China. It plays a significant role in achieving holistic education involving all faculty, throughout the entire educational process, and in all medical students. Medical colleges bear the historical responsibility of nurturing "outstanding good doctors". In medical colleges, ideological and political education should be integrated into clinical teaching, considering the speciality and unique nature of medical institutions. This approach aims to enhance students' ideological and moral character, medical humanities literacy, and overall professional competence, thereby cultivating well-rounded medical professionals with both strong ideological grounding and professional expertise, thus fulfilling the mission of fostering virtue and cultivating talent.
