Abstract

Abstract: In graduate course of “Advanced Pharmacology”, problem-based learning (PBL) was used to stimulate students' initiative. To further study the advanced pharmacology knowledge, the new use of old drugs, literature reviewing, clinical case and flipped classroom were applied in the courses to comprehensively strengthen capacity building of students' scientific thinking and reasoning. The outcomes of this course remodeling are well appreciated.

Key words: Advanced Pharmacology, scientific thinking, graduate education, teaching reform
