Abstract: With the arrival of the global "micro-era", the micro-course has become the inevitable trend due to its individualization, diversification, short period and brief content. Medical education should attach great importance to the basic knowledge of medicine and the cultivation of students’ clinical research capabilities. Thus, as the supplementary teaching model, the micro-course is of vital significance for medical students. However, the researches of micro-course correlated with medical education in our country are still in the primary stage. The current study summarizes the development process of micro-course in China and puts forward suggestions to strengthen the micro-course construction.
