Abstract: Objective To explore the teaching effect of the interdisciplinary science based innovation and entrepreneurship education on stomatology undergraduates' innovation competency. Methods Undergraduates from Stomatology School, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology participated in national undergraduate training program for innovation and entrepreneurship from 2015 to 2019. Thirty-two students from the program were selected with 13 in experimental group and 19 in control group. The innovation and entrepreneurship competency were evaluated after teaching. The total scores were compared by χ2 test, Mann-Whitney U test and t test. Results The innovation and entrepreneurship achievement score from experimental group was significantly higher than that from the control group [15(7,28) vs. 4(4,10),P=0.011]. Self-evaluation of innovation and entrepreneurship competency between the two groups showed no statistical difference [(3.59±0.47)vs.(3.70±0.76),P=0.636]. Conclusions The interdisciplinary science based innovation and entrepreneurship education is helpful for stomatology undergraduates to obtain more innovative and entrepreneurial achievements and improve their entrepreneurial and innovative competency.
