The team has also been invited to deliver a keynote speech at the Seminar.

In the witness of recent years, our School of Clinical Medicine (Affiliated First Hospital) has made valuable attempts in the process of digitally empowering medical education for high-quality development. We have explored and established a series of open online courses based on OBE (Outcome-Based Education) in clinical professional programs, incorporating disciplinary characteristics and student-centered approaches. By integrating various clinical cases and exemplary individuals into the classroom, we have developed the "One Demonstration, Three Orientations, Four Classrooms" educational model. Simultaneously, we have fully utilized the Internet and diverse digital teaching platforms, employing heuristic, case-based, and task-driven teaching methods. This has enabled a blended teaching approach, including "pre-class pre-learning + flipped classroom," "in-class research-based learning + in-class flipping," and "post-class reinforcement + timely flipping." Our focus lies in cultivating medical students' knowledge, abilities, comprehensive qualities, and clinical thinking skills, thereby enhancing their learning enthusiasm and improving the quality of classroom teaching. This truly harnesses the power of digital transformation in medical education, effectively supporting the high-quality development of talent cultivation in our university. The course leader, Liu Wei, has gained recognition for his experience in curriculum reform, with dedicated reports by authoritative media such as "Xue Xi Qiang Guo" and the National Center for Medical Education Development under the Ministry of Education. These reports provide solid experience for the promotion of digital education transformation cases and intelligent course construction.
