Abstract: Objective To explore the research hotspots and trends in medical education from the perspective of “new medicine”. Methods From January 2018 to December 2022, relevant documents on ″medical education″ in the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Data, and VIP Database for Chinese Technical Periodicals were retrieved. Data analysis was conducted on three levels: macro (literature), meso (authors and institutions), and micro (topics) using CiteSpace and VOSviewer software. Results The number of publications on medical education research under the new medical disciplines construction was on the rise. Peking University and its affiliated hospitals rank first in terms of the number of publications, and the core collaboration teams remain relatively stable. Traditional core topics in the field include standardized residency training and clinical medical education, while emerging research themes such as online teaching, COVID-19 pandemic, and curriculum ideological and political education have also appeared. Conclusion Medical education is an important cornerstone of the development of health and medical personnel training. The construction of ″new medicine″ puts forward a new era mission for medical education. By outlining the new research ecology of medical education under the construction of ″new medicine″, this study provides evidence-based basis for the further development of medical education reform in the new era.
