    With the deepening development of artificial intelligence (AI) applications, there is an urgent need for atransformation in college English teaching, particularly graduate English teaching, from traditional face-to-face classroomsto intelligent online teaching platforms with deep technological integration. Capital Medical University (CMU) hasdeveloped the Xuetangyun Online Learning Platform, which integrates functions such as AI learning companions,differentiated teaching, and intelligent course creation to establish a "technology-empowered teaching" system. Taking theAI-supported course Medical English Terminology offered to CMU graduate students as an example, this paper explores theapplicability and effectiveness of the "AI + online course" model in medical English teaching. Statistical data from 131 validquestionnaires completed by CMU master's students show that the platform enables personalized course guidance and AIassisted learning, effectively enhancing students' language application abilities and learning engagement. Additionally, theresults indicate high satisfaction among graduate students with the medical English course content, teaching arrangements,and AI learning companion functions on the platform. Perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness both show significantpositive correlations with usage frequency. This study demonstrates that the CMU Xuetangyun Platform can effectivelyaddress three major challenges in graduate medical English teaching and provides a replicable and scalable practical pathwayfor the digital transformation of graduate English teaching.

    】 To enhance the precision of ideological and political education for students in medical vocational colleges andto improve its practical effectiveness, a questionnaire survey was conducted among students at a medical vocational college,covering eight aspects including outlook on life, moral values, employment perspectives, and evaluations of ideological andpolitical theory courses. The results reveal three main characteristics of students' ideological status: a predominantly positivemainstream, a coexistence of pragmatism and self-centered tendencies, and susceptibility to confusion or externalinfluences. These findings indicate that while the college's ideological and political education has achieved certainsuccesses, challenges and shortcomings still exist. Improvements can be explored through targeted strategies, innovativeeducational models, and collaborative education mechanisms. This approach aims to continuously improve the quality offostering virtue through education, cultivating high-quality medical and health professionals who are both morally andtechnically competent for the Healthy China Initiative.

    Objective To explore the effect of teaching clinics on enhancing the clinical competence of residents and theirimplementation effect. Methods All standardized training instructors and postgraduate year (PGY) 2 and 3 residents whoparticipated in the teaching clinic of Zhejiang Cancer Hospital from May 2023 to November 2024 were selected as the studysubjects. The Mini-Clinical Evaluation Exercise (Mini-CEX) scale was used to evaluate the clinical competence ofresidents, and a questionnaire survey was conducted to analyze the implementation effect of teaching clinics. ResultsResidents' clinical competence scores in each dimension in the second Mini-CEX assessment were higher than those in thefirst assessment, with statistically significant differences (P<0. 05). The results of the faculty questionnaire showed that themain difficulties of teaching clinics identified by teachers were hierarchical teaching (68. 42%) and guiding residents toreceive patients independently (63. 16%). The most difficult teaching goal to achieve was cultivating residents' clinicalthinking and decision-making ability (73. 68%), and the content most in need of strengthening was inquiry skills (78. 95%).Conclusion Teaching clinics are helpful to improve residents' clinical practice abilities across all dimensions. However, itremains essential to improve the quality of these clinics by strengthening faculty development, broadening patientrecruitment strategies for teaching clinics, and establishing a regular feedback mechanism.

    Objective To investigate the current state of labor literacy among medical undergraduates and explores waysto enhance it within an employment-oriented framework, aiming to inform the integration of labor education into medicaltraining. Methods A mixed-methods approach was used, including questionnaire surveys and in-depth interviews focusingon four dimensions of labor literacy: cognition, emotion, volition, and behavior. Results Medical undergraduates' laborliteracy scores across all dimensions were significantly above the medium level (P<0. 001), indicating relatively highoverall competence. However, a "knowledge-practice gap" was observed. Significant differences (P<0. 001) were foundacross academic years, with junior students scoring lowest overall (3. 26±0. 32), particularly in labor emotion (2. 88±0. 59).Interviews revealed that internships, labor courses, and student work experiences enhanced labor literacy, and clear careerplanning promoted proactive skill improvement. Further integration of labor education into specialized curricula and careerguidance remains needed. Conclusion Strengthening education on the Marxist view of labor and improving the connectionbetween knowledge, emotion, and behavior are essential. Tailored activities should be designed based on students'developmental needs. Both dedicated labor courses and the incorporation of labor elements throughout medical educationand career guidance should be emphasized to improve overall labor literacy and comprehensive abilities.

    Objective To investigate the current status of medical students' use of large models in the digitaltransformation of medical education, and to provide data support for optimizing teaching resources. Methods Aquestionnaire survey was conducted using a 5-point Likert scale. A total of 160 medical undergraduates in grades 3 to 5from a medical college were surveyed, covering 7 dimensions including usage coverage, effectiveness in learning/research/clinical scenarios, and training needs. Results The penetration rate of large models exceeds 95%. Among medicalstudents, 32% use them more than 10 times per week, with domestic models such as DeepSeek taking the lead in usage rate.In learning scenarios, information retrieval (88. 75% high effectiveness) and text translation (86. 25% high effectiveness)perform prominently, while knowledge point mastery (43. 75% low effectiveness) needs improvement. In scientific researchscenarios, literature analysis shows significant efficiency (85. 63% high effectiveness), but the assistance in experimentaldesign is limited. Medical record writing stands out with remarkable results, taking the lead with a 40. 62% dataperformance and showing an obvious unimodal skewed distribution "characteristic". "Case discussion" has the highestproportion of negative evaluations, with the combined proportion of "no effect" and "slightly effective" reaching 40%. For"error correction", the proportion of negative evaluations is 62. 50%. 75% of students demand training, focusing on practicaloperations and scenario applications. Conclusion Large models have become important tools for medical students' learningand research, but they have limitations in knowledge internalization and clinical thinking cultivation. It is necessary tooptimize functions and carry out targeted training based on institutional needs.

    Narrative medicine plays a pivotal role in fostering the professional identity of medical students. It holdssignificant importance in enhancing the moral education and talent cultivation quality of medical education, as well asstrengthening the quality assurance system of medical services. From the perspective of narrative medicine, this articledelves into the crucial significance and implementation pathways of integrating narrative medicine into the construction ofmedical students' professional identity. By refining the narrative medicine curriculum, promoting narrative medicineinternships, and creating a narrative medicine cultural environment, medical students can gain a deeper understanding ofpatients' experiences and needs. This enables them to cultivate empathy and a spirit of humanistic care, reflect on their ownlearning and career development, and ultimately forge a positive professional identity. Such an approach not only bolstersthe competency of medical students, laying a solid foundation for future medical practice, but also drives medical educationreform. It aims to nurture more exceptional medical talents endowed with humanistic qualities, compassion, and a sense ofresponsibility. Ultimately, this contributes to building harmonious doctor-patient relationships, enhancing the quality ofmedical services, and achieving the goal of "Healthy China 2030"
