The value implication,practical dilemma,and enhancement path of integrating the Red Medical Spirit into ideological and political courses in medical colleges
The "Red Medical Spirit" is a vivid embodiment of the spirit of Chinese Communists in the healthcare front and serves as a valuable resource for ideological and political education in medical schools. While most ideological and political course instructors in medical schools recognize the significance of integrating the Red Medical Spirit into their teaching,they still face several challenges during the integration process. These include difficulties in aligning the integration theme with the needs of contemporary medical students,fragmented and superficial incorporation of its essence,and a lack of progressive integration pathways. Therefore,instructors must enhance the appeal of the Red Medical Spirit through contemporary topics and dynamic expression,improving its affinity. Empowering teaching with research and using the Red Medical Spirit to strengthen the persuasiveness of theoretical knowledge is essential. Unifying the instructor's leadership with the student's active participation helps foster stronger political identity among modern medical students through the Red Medical Spirit.
