As a graduate course specializing in the study of the pathogenesis and biological therapy of major diseases, the course of pathogenesis and biotherapy of major diseases has strong theoretical foundations, rapid advances, and a high level of innovation. The reform of its teaching mode is of great significance in improving the professional knowledge, scientific thinking, and innovative abilities of graduate students. However, there are problems in traditional teaching, such as stiff integration of ideological and political elements, lack of consideration for connecting knowledge points and humanistic care, as well as the cultivation of scientific spirit, etc. Therefore, this article proposes a teaching reform characterized by “participatory case-based teaching” integrating ideological and political education. The course focuses on the academic goals of cultivating scientific logical thinking and improving the level of interdisciplinary research and integrates theoretical and practical innovative models guided by immersive ideological and political education in teaching content and design. The course chooses major diseases (such as neurodegenerative diseases and tumors, etc.) as examples to help students develop a logical understanding of the “pathogenesis-diagnosis-treatment methods” of major diseases, and also inspire graduate students to think critically and challenge irrational beliefs. In terms of teaching design, ideological and political elements closely related to scientific research are used, and students are guided to participate in completing group research report summaries, inspiring them to come up with innovative ideas for both basic and clinical issues related to major diseases that threaten human health. Through this process, students enhance their skills in case analysis, teamwork, and develop a rigorous and realistic approach, as well as a spirit of innovation and challenge. Teaching evaluation data indicates that the teaching reform implemented in this course can help students shape correct worldviews, life views, and values, effectively improve their understanding of major diseases and biological therapy, and exercise their scientific logical thinking.
