Abstract: The new medicine is an important education strategy put forward by the Ministry of Education of China to cultivate outstanding medical talents and scientists. Trans-disciplinary integration and mutual penetration are important connotation to realize the construction of the specialty. This paper takes the combination of medical and engineering as an example to explore trans-disciplinary teachings, and suggests two teaching methods of the trans-disciplinary cross knowledge based on clinical problems and the clinical optimal solution analysis based on the knowledge from different disciplines. A questionnaire survey was conducted among 150 junior and senior students majoring in clinical medicine at Zhejiang University who joined the course of the clinical application of medical instruments. The results showed that 95.3% (143/150) students thought that this course could better help them learn relevant clinical medicine courses, 93.3% (140/150) students thought that this course was highly analytical, and 88.7% (133/150) students thought that this course could develop solutions to problems. The conclusion is that adding trans-disciplinary education can better promotes the study of other medical knowledge.
