Abstract: The “Eight-Year Medical Student Leading Talent Training Innovation Driven Plan” has been implemented in Xiangya School of Medical of Central South University since 2012. This plan builds on the foundation of the first two years of medical preparatory education and the core medical curriculum from years three to six, selecting outstanding students for international joint training during their seventh and eighth years at top universities such as Yale, Cornell, the University of Pittsburgh, and the University of Michigan. The global perspective, clinical thinking ability, and scientific research innovation awareness of eight-year medical students have been improved through international joint training. This paper introduces Xiangya's approach to developing an international joint training model for eight-year medical students, showcasing the program's achievements in training scale and quality, and aims to provide insights and guidance for advancing reforms in eight-year medical education.
