Construction and practice of a "1+2+3+4" training system for innovative undergraduate talents in public health and preventive medicine

This study aimed to build and implement a "1+2+3+4” teaching reform model for innovative undergraduate talents in public health and preventive medicine with high quality. After more than 10 years of practice and implementation of the "1+2+3+4" teaching reform program, the teaching reform team trained a large number of innovative undergraduate students in public health and preventive medicine with high quality. The researchers set up a teaching reform team with high titles, high education, young age, and good educational gradient: titles and education. The team guided the undergraduate students in preventive medicine to obtain many firsts in the same grade and major. The team instructed undergraduates to obtain the highest quantity and quality of projects, patents, theses, and awards. The team obtained several provincial teaching platforms. The teachers of the teaching and reform team significantly improved their operation. The "1+2+3+4" teaching reform model has clear training objectives. Based on the present research, the "1+2+3+4" is a set of undergraduate training systems with interactive teaching and research modes, which can not only cultivate innovative undergraduate talents in public health and preventive medicine but also improve the teaching and research ability and level of teachers.
