Cellular and Molecular Basis of Medicine is a basic module course newly established by our school that is compulsory for medical students. This module course overthrows traditional disciplinary boundaries

and adopts the forms of combining classroom teaching with students' self-learning and teachers' instruction with topic discussion of students guided by teachers. In the teaching of the module course

discussion was adopted among students which involves teachers giving out the range of topics to students so that they can prepare for the topic of their intertest. After group discussion during class

the head of the teaching group gave comment on students' discussion and prize for whom had the best performance. Then

students were asked to summarize and analyze the questions raised during discussion after class. In conclusion

discussion class has stimulated students' interest in learning

improved their ability to think independently and encouraged them to demonstrate their abilities

which has achieved good teaching outcomes.
