Abstract: Some reforming measures are proposed for the pharmacological experiment teaching in eight-year program medical education which consists of strengthening the training of the basic pharmacological experiment skills and methods, reducing the traditional verification experiments, increasing the comprehensive experiments, carrying out the designing experiments and improving the assessment methods. These measures might stimulate students’ interest and initiative, improve their manipulative ability, innovative ability and research capability, and are also the explorations for the experimental teaching reform in order to cultivate high quality medical talents with creative thinking and enhance the teaching quality.

Key words: pharmacological experiment, teaching reform, eight-year program medical education
