Integrating STEM Core Competencies Training into the Curriculum Reform of Neurobiology for Medical Students
In recent years,China's higher medical education has experienced rapid development.However,its reform is still constrained and influenced by economic,social,and environmental factors.Medical neurobiology,a discipline that intersects multiple curricular knowledge points,is one of the most active frontier subjects in life sciences today.Its interdisciplinary and multi-level research is very necessary.Considering the development of medical education both domestically and abroad,the science,technology,engineering,and mathematics(STEM)education approach,with its interdisciplinary and practical philosophy,effectively promotes the formation of new perspectives in students and plays a significant role in cultivating their innovative abilities.STEM education plays an indispensable role in building students'knowledge systems,helps consolidate the foundational knowledge they have previously learned,and lays a solid foundation for future specialized course studies.Therefore,it not only serves to bridge previous and subsequent learning but is also crucial for enhancing students'overall competencies.This article,based on STEM education principles,discusses the integration and intersection of interdisciplinary knowledge in the neurobiology courses for medical students.It emphasizes the importance of focusing on cultivating students'abilities in practical innovation,teamwork,problem-solving,and clinical translational applications.It also stresses that teachers should connect neuroscience knowledge with other medical course content within the STEM education framework,effectively stimulating students'interest in learning and their desire to explore cutting-edge topics.This serves as a reform strategy for exploring a STEM-based practice route in neurobiology courses for medical students.
