The experimental group was educated with a platform (containing the digital theory teaching, practice teaching, ‘cloud’ classroom and assessment modules), while the control group used traditional teaching methods. Students' examination scores of theory, practice and routine performance were compared. and subjective satisfaction to the course by students were evaluated.Results Examination scores of theory course[undergraduates of medical imaging (80.36±8.43), undergraduates of medical imaging technology (79.10±7.91)], practice course [undergraduates of medical imaging (79.18±8.26), undergraduates of medical imaging technology (80.31±8.32)] and routine performance[undergraduates of medical imaging (83.77±5.38), undergraduates of medical imaging technology (84.41±5.85)] of the experimental group were significantly higher as, compared to the control group[undergraduates of medical imaging (77.19±7.55), (75.18±6.71), (81.75±5.57),undergraduates of medical imaging technology (74.17±9.27), (74.03±6.81), (80.73±5.50), all P<0.05]. Satisfaction rate to the course in experimental group significantly higher than that of the control group, medical imaging [(82.11±4.09)vs.(78.98±1.96)], medical imaging technology[(84.31±2.35)vs.(79.17±3.16)], all P<0.05.Conclusions The multi-module digital medical imaging anatomy practice teaching and assessment platform is helpful to cultivate students' medical imaging pattern of thought, and to develop a comprehensive capacity of medical imaging and to evaluate the learning outcomes comprehensively, so this plateform and technology package concerned have a broad application prospect.

Health system science education in the United States and its reflections Wang Juan, Lyu Lixia, Chen Haohong, Cao Jinfeng, Wei Chunlan, Yang Wenzhuo, Zheng Jialin 2021, 41 (2):  183-187.  DOI: 10.3760/cma.j.cn115259-20200515-00756 Abstract ( 99 )   PDF (1130KB) ( 111 )   Health system science (HSS) is a science that studies how the health system provides health care for patients, how patients receive and obtain health care, and how health systems promote health. As one of the core innovations of the American Medical Association (AMA) recently, health system science has been implemented in the American medical education since 2013. As the third pillar of medical education, HSS plays an important role in patient and population health and care by cooperating and complementing with basic medicine and clinical medicine. This paper introduces the emergence, knowledge domains and development of HSS in American medical education. Furthermore, combined with the current situation of medical education in China, some ideas and suggestions for developing HSS in Chinese medical schools will be put forward.
