Against the backdrop of the comprehensive promotion of ideological and political education (IPE) integration in higher education, medical universities are facing the challenge of constructing a collaborative education mechanism that combines professional education with ideological and political guidance. This study draws on the historical experience of the Liji Medical Group (1885–1937), a pivotal medical community in modern Wenzhou, and explores the construction of a collaborative IPE mechanism in medical universities through social network analysis (SNA) and empirical investigation. By collecting historical documents of the Liji Medical Group and conducting a questionnaire survey among 187 teachers and students from Wenzhou Medical University, this research uses UCINET, SPSS 26.0, and Gephi to analyze the structural characteristics of the collaborative education network and the current status of IPE integration in medical education. The results show that the Liji Medical Group's experience in knowledge dissemination, resource integration, and institutional innovation provides three core dimensions for the collaborative IPE mechanism: curriculum synergy, subject synergy, and cultural synergy. The constructed mechanism effectively improves the integration degree of professional education and IPE, with the network density of collaborative subjects reaching 0.28 and the clustering coefficient at 0.45, indicating a closely connected and highly aggregated collaborative education system. This study bridges the gap between historical medical community experience and modern university IPE practice, providing a practical path for the high-quality development of ideological and political education in medical universities.
