“Molecules and Cells” is an innovative and integrated course that conforms to the reform of medical education. The teaching content not only reflect the “high order-innovation-challenge”, but also performs the function of “cultivating roots and forging souls”. The course takes “four self-confidence” as the goal of ideological and political education. And the team digs deeper into the classic and hot cases in the course to closely link China’s superior system with the development of biochemistry in China, so as to enhance the “road confidence and system confidence” of course participants. The team also integrates China’s independent scientific research results into the case studies to guide students to use Marxist natural dialectics to explain life phenomena, thus enhancing students’ “heoretical confidence and cultural confidence”. In addition to the traditional classic cases, the course also incorporates the frontier knowledge of life sciences and clinical cases, building a teaching continuity between basic and frontier knowledge, basic and clinical medicine. Through the investigation and analysis of the satisfaction of students of different grades in excellent doctor class in different dimensions such as “understanding of basic knowledge, understanding of cutting-edge technologies in China, enthusiasm for innovative scientific research”, the results show that after the implementation of ideological and political education, the satisfaction scores of students in these dimensions are significantly higher than 8 points, and the satisfaction scores for the cultivation of innovative spirit are higher than 9 points. In addition, students’ case study questions and final examination scores improved significantly. To sum up, this innovative ideological and political education model can significantly improve the teaching effect of clinical majors.
