The key point of medical education reform is to implement the “excellent doctor education and training plan” and comprehensively improve the quality of medical personnel training. Cell biology is a compulsory key course for medical students. This article adopts the mixed teaching mode of “learning as the center”. Through rain classroom, flipped classroom, interactive teaching styles, PBL discussion and other teaching methods, teachers can organically integrate “cells” and “diseases”, explain life phenomena, explore human mysteries, and provide theoretical basis for disease prevention and treatment. The course content mainly includes three modules: cell structure and diseases, cell living environment and diseases, cell life activity and diseases. It focuses on understanding human physiological and pathological process at the cell level, and cultivating students’ innovative thinking, correct outlook on life and values. The new curriculum integrates scientific theory and medical practice, which makes up for the deficiency of the correlation between the basic knowledge of cell biology and medical knowledge in the teaching process. And it is well received by teachers and students. After continuous reform and improvement, this course has been successfully built into the first batch of national online and offline mixed first-class courses, which is an important part of promoting medical education reform from point to area and as a whole.
