Medical engineering interdisciplinary aims to integrate medicine, engineering science and other disciplines and to carry out scientific research and application in a collaborative manner. At present, the demand for medical engineering interdisciplinary in the field of medical laboratory technology is increasing, which also puts forward new requirements for the “Clinical Microbiology Laboratory Technology”. This article elaborates on the necessity and existing problems of the medical engineering interdisciplinary, reports on the overall ideas of the curriculum reform of “Clinical Microbiology Laboratory Technology” at West China School of Medicine of Sichuan University based on the medical engineering interdisciplinary, and specifically elaborates on the reform practices in three aspects: teaching philosophy, teaching content and methods, and teacher optimization, as well as the preliminary achievements obtained, so as to provide new ideas for the curriculum reform of the “Clinical Microbiology Laboratory Technology”.
The teaching team of the Department of Laboratory Medicine, West China School of Medicine, Sichuan University takes scientific spirit, craftsmanship spirit, and medical humanities spirit as the goal, combines the core knowledge of clinical microbiology laboratory technology course with cases of coronavirus disease 2019 prevention and control, drug resistance monitoring, and scientists’ deeds, and adopts strategies such as hot debate and special report to achieve the integration of knowledge and value. The actual effectiveness of this model has been verified through the assessment of students’ abilities and values. This article introduces the course-based ideological and political education construction mentioned above, aiming to explore the integration path of course-based ideological and political education in the clinical microbiology laboratory technology, and construct a new teaching model that combines professional competence and value guidance.
