Abstract
An important goal of contemporary medical education is to cultivate and improve the comprehensive and innovative abilities of medical students. One significant way to fulfill this goal is to explore the course reform of experimental teaching in basic medicine. A new course named “The Comprehensive Experiments and Experimental Design of Basic Medicine”, is developed targeting the senior students in Chinese medical university in recent years. As an independent experimental course, it is a good teaching platform in the pre-clinic years to enhance students’ comprehensive and innovative abilities. Meanwhile, it has completely altered the situation of experimental teaching affiliating to theory teaching in most Chinese medical universities, making experimental teaching significant in undergraduate medical education.
