Abstract: Objective With the setting of the innovative Jieping Program of Capital Medical University, this study combines the training objectives and requirements of the class with the new requirements of the development of social medicine and health management. It aims to understand the curriculum needs and intentions of innovative medical students and provide a basis for optimizing the teaching of social medicine and health management.Methods The study conducts a survey among the innovative class students in Capital Medical University to investigate and analyze their preferences for course cognition, content design, teaching activities, and teaching methods.Results The results show that 56.25% of students agree with the importance of this course. Compared to bilingual teaching, there is a preference for entire Chinese teaching (77.08%), with 43.33% hoping to adopt a blended online and offline teaching approach. In addition to traditional lectures, classroom teaching activities with higher interests include on-site visits (3.98 points), practical training (3.75 points), and case discussions (3.52 points), with the hope of using more heuristic teaching, conducting more case studies, and using more group discussions. It is also expected to incorporate ideological and political content into this course in the chapters on Social Determinants of Health (64.59%), Health Reform and Development (64.58%), and Health Services for Vulnerable Groups (62.50%).Conclusion Based on students' intentional choices and suggestions, it is necessary to further optimize the content and structure of the course of Social Medicine and Health Management. Bilingual teaching should be properly adopted. Case method and classroom practice should be strengthened. This study hopes to explore the reform of teaching content and methods focusing on "student growth", with a view to improving teaching effectiveness and helping to cultivate leading medical talents with innovative thinking abilities.
