Abstract: The curriculum system is an important part of medical education, and it is the prerequisite for cultivating high-quality talents in line with the requirements of the new era. This paper describes and analyzes the doctor of medicine (MD) curriculum system of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. The genes to society curriculum model of Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine requires students to not only pay attention to biology and disease itself, but also emphasize the role of social, environmental and psychological factors in health and disease, and emphasizes interdisciplinary teaching, practical ability training, social responsibility, innovative educational ideas and international perspective. These ideas provide important enlightenment for the reform of medical education in China, and through the study and reference of the genes to society curriculum model of Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, it is helpful to improve the concept of medical education in China and help us to train high-quality medical talents who can adapt to the challenges of modern medicine.
