Abstract

It is an inevitable trend in medical education worldwide that medical students should gain a systematic and integrated knowledge package through their learning. In the fall of 2020, Peking University Health Science Center initiated a New Era organ-system oriented integrated curriculum to be implemented in undergraduates enrolled in 2019. Based on the pedagogy theories supporting the integrated curriculum development and the practice atPeking University Health Science Center, this paper proposed the challenges in curriculum implementation and suggestions for optimizing the curriculum from the perspective of learners.
