医学生物技术教学特色与提高实践能力的改革思路

The Teaching Characteristics of Medical Biotechnology and the Reform Ideas of Improving Practical Ability

近年来,我校新设立了医学生物技术专业,然而,目前传统生物技术毕业生就业难,而创新性人才又匮乏。这种结构性过剩的根本原因是专业课程设计不合理。本文针对医药生物技术新专业的课程建设和教学进行了改革,对生物技术人才进行四个层次进阶式培养,包括基础理论的学习,基本实验动手能力培养,生物化学和分子生物学大实验的设计,加入科研团队进行创新性课题研究。从毕业班实习单位的反馈来看,改革的效果良好。

Recently, the medicinal biotechnology as a novel major w as established in Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine.However, the key issue is that, on one hand, the undergraduates whose major are biotechnology showed weak competitiveness in job-hunting market, on the other hand, the creative talents wanted dramatically by the high-tech enterprises are relatively rare. This mismatch is due to the inappropriate specialized courses. In his paper, we elucidated some new ideas in terms of the curricula construction and teaching reform. Specifically, the students majored in medicinal biotechnology are normally subjected to four-tiered advanced education. At stage one the students mainly focus on learning fundamental knowledge. Their ability of performing experiments will be trained at stage two. How to design the comprehensive experiment of biochemistry and molecular biology is set at stage three. In order to promote the creative way of thinking, the students are allowed to join in research team and involved in the specific research program. Currently, we received many positive comments from the enterprises where students are undergoing internship.
