Thoughts of Courses Construction of Graduate Student with Master of Medicine Based on Online Open Courses

Abstract

Under the “double-track integration” training model, there are problems with short learning time, scattered locations, and inconsistent schedules for master of medicine. The traditional method of face-to-face teaching in a centralized setting cannot meet the new training requirements. The standardized training for resident physicians strictly requires a 33-month period for clinical skills training. How can we reform the teaching methods while maintaining the same length of the curriculum, in order to balance the standardized training for resident physicians and course learning? Online open courses have the characteristics of fragmented knowledge, abundant resources, diverse formats, flexible choices, and unrestricted learning time and location. They can effectively resolve the conflict between course learning and standardized training for master of medicine under the “double-track integration” training model. How to successfully develop online courses has become a key issue in the reform of course teaching for master of medicine. Based on the experience of course teaching management for master of medicine, this article discusses some considerations for the construction of online open courses.
