Abstract: In order to cooperate with Anatomy teaching reform, the department proposed a new teaching reform plan to combine the teaching of anatomy and clinical medical education. The reform includes re-arrangement of curriculum, application of multiple teaching methods, exchange and collaboration with foreign medical schools. A novel ‘Clinically-Oriented Anatomy Lecture’ program is launched. These programs not only strengthened the anatomy knowledge, but also emphasized the application of the knowledge in clinical application, and preliminarily achieved a good effect.

Key words: Eight-year medical education program, Anatomy, Integration of basic and clinical medicine, Medical education reform
