Abstract

Abstract

From the perspective of competency development, a comparative analysis of the undergraduate education models in preventive medicine between China and the United States has been conducted, with the aim of identifying the shortcomings in China′s preventive medicine education and proposing reform suggestions. Research has shown that the problems China′s preventive medicine education must face include an overall insufficient quantity, an incomplete education and training system, and an emphasis on theory over practice, problems that became more prominent in the context of emerging infectious disease outbreaks. An in-depth analysis of the undergraduate curriculum systems in preventive medicine in both China and the United States was conducted, delving into the relationship between public health education and talent development directions. Based on this, suggestions were made for the construction of China′s public health talent training system.
