The "Six-Year" Initiative represents a major measure for the university to implement high-quality development and serves as a key focus for 2024. Talent cultivation stands as the central mission and fundamental task of the institution, forming the eternal theme of its growth. The university concentrates on teaching excellence, with improving educational quality as the main thread, and actively carries out the "Teaching Quality Enhancement Year" activities under the theme of "Adhering to Standards, Establishing Norms, and Promoting High-Quality Teaching Development." Focusing on connotative development, the initiative benchmarks against undergraduate medical education requirements, deepens teaching management and reform, strengthens undergraduate teaching capacity reserves, and steadily elevates the quality of talent cultivation.

Organizing Thematic Studies to Return to the Essence of Teaching Adapting to the new phase and aligning with new requirements, all schools and departments have conducted 138 rounds of educational philosophy discussions on critical issues such as bridging diploma and undergraduate education, standardizing teaching management, improving classroom quality, and refining teaching methods. These discussions have fostered consensus in thought, objectives, and pathways, providing endogenous momentum for high-quality development.

University-School Tiered Training for Capacity Building Toward Undergraduate Transition.Collaborating across levels, the university has invited experts from undergraduate institutions nationwide to conduct 11 multi-format, multi-level, and multi-perspective training sessions on topics such as standardized undergraduate teaching, innovative teaching methods, effective collective lesson preparation, digital education, and the application of teaching competitions in actual instruction. These efforts continuously drive innovation in teaching models, methods, and tools, significantly enhancing faculty teaching capabilities.

Holding Licensing Exam Seminars to Align Teaching with Assessment

In May, the Academic Affairs Office, School of Clinical Medicine, School of Public Health, and School of Stomatology separately convened seminars to analyze licensing exam pass rates. By comparing data from the past three years, they identified issues, pinpointed causes, and explored growth opportunities. Through multi-stakeholder coordination, targeted measures were devised to comprehensively improve the pass rates for medical licensing examinations.

Preparing for Undergraduate Teaching to Deepen Educational Substance

Through meticulous university-school collaboration, 118 trial lectures by faculty candidates for undergraduate courses and 83 collective lesson preparation sessions were organized. Teaching syllabi, lab manuals, and experimental project catalogs were compiled for clinical medicine, nursing, pharmacy, traditional Chinese medicine, and medical laboratory technology, systematically strengthening preparatory work for undergraduate education and laying a solid foundation for cultivating future medical professionals.

Strengthening Safety Baselines for Scientific and Standardized Management

To reinforce laboratory safety, a special rectification and safety inspection campaign was launched for equipment and consumables management. Vice President Lin Jingcang, along with Academic Affairs Office and school representatives, inspected each lab, reviewing usage of high-value instruments, standardized storage of materials, and safety protocols for hazardous chemicals, gas cylinders, and utilities—ensuring a secure foundation for high-quality experimental teaching.

Using Evaluation to Drive Improvement and Strengthen Secondary Management

To advance standardized teaching management in secondary schools and enhance their role in talent cultivation, the university will conduct two major activities in the latter half of the year: "Outstanding Teaching Management Unit" evaluations and teaching/research office assessments. These initiatives—promoting reform through evaluation, construction through appraisal, and integrating both—will holistically elevate educational management standards.

Standing at this new historical juncture, we remain committed to high-quality development as our guiding principle and talent cultivation as our core mission. Upholding the fundamental task of fostering virtue through education, we will anchor our efforts to "quality" as the guiding framework, "teaching" as the essence, and "learning" as the foundation. By transforming perspectives, preserving integrity while innovating, and overcoming challenges, we will chart a new chapter for medical education.
