Abstract: In order to meet the growing demand for medical talents in national medical and healthcare services
development, Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine has innovated the new PRICE education model aiming
to enhance students’ overall occupational competency. This education model is mainly concerned with students’ clinical
thinking, communicational and practical skills, and medical humanistic development. After going through the process of
meticulous design, scientific argumentation, detailed refinement, and approach development, we have successfully built
the sophisticated medical training program and achieved the full implementation of scientific problem-oriented, medical
scenario-based, and clinical thinking-focused medical simulated teaching platform, that is integrated with the wellconstructed
medical standard unit. The emphasized clinical training and integration of medical humanities education with the
whole-process evaluation system have effectively enhanced the overall clinical skills of the medical students.

Key words: student, competency, PRICE education
