Abstract:

The key aspect of comprehensively improving the quality of medical personnel training is to improve scientific research quality of undergraduates. This study outlined the current status of medical undergraduates with strong scientific research awareness, low actual scientific research participation and overall weak scientific research ability. It summarized the main methods of "Toxicology" course in improving undergraduates' scientific research quality: enriching teaching content with cutting-edge international research and findings to cultivate students' scientific research interest; mentoring undergraduates through literature presentations and academic group meetings to initiate research literacy; practicing ability of scientific research through undergraduate research projects; guiding undergraduate students in their graduation design or theses to holistically improve their scientific research ability such as scientific research ideas, experimental methods, scientific and technological paper writing, and indomitable spirit of scientific research. This paper provides a reference for improving students' scientific research quality through the teaching activities of professional basic courses.
