Abstract: Objective To investigate and analyze the attitude of Peking University Health Science Center students and professors towards clinicians’ participation in basic medical education (integrated teaching) and furthermore, to provide guiding advices on competence-based medical teaching reform. Methods A total of 370 respondents were selected from the basic or clinical medical professors (professor group) and basic or clinical medical students in year 2012, 2013 and 2014 (student group) of Peking University Health Science Center to complete the questionnaires. Results In the professor group, 38.6% (68/176) professors had participated in the integrated teaching, and 82.6% (147/178) students in the student group had participated in it. For the professors and students attended integrated teaching, 86.8% (59/68) professors and 76.2% (112/147) students rated the integrated teaching excellent or good. Integrated teaching had a positive impact on enhancing professors’ understanding of basic medical knowledge and helped them achieving better teaching results. In addition, it better prepared students for future clinical studies and helped them acquiring more medical humanities knowledge. 16 of 20 clinicians who had attended integrated teaching stated that their departments would participate in it. Pathophysiology,anatomy and pharmacology were the three most suitable basic medical courses for clinicians to participate in teaching and problem-based learning (PBL) would be the most appropriate teaching. Conclusions Integrated teaching’s positive impact on learning is widely recognized by professors and students. Clinicians would be eager to participate if appropriate methods and courses are designed.
