The evolution of compilation and classification in Chinese infectious disease textbooks
Infectious disease science is a core discipline of medicine and public health
and education in this field is essential for safeguarding public health and global health security. This study examined the development and future trends of infectious disease education in China by analyzing the evolution of the content and structure of nine editions of the textbook
Infectious
Diseases
published by the People's Medical Publishing House. The study revealed continuous improvements in pathogen classification methods
th
e selection of classic infectious diseases
and the articulation of prevention strategies
reflecting scientific advancements of the discipline and shifting societal needs. The expansion and diversification of the editorial team highlight the interdisciplinary nature and international perspective of infectious disease science. The continuous updates of the textbook not only provide theoretical guidance for infectious disease prevention and control but also contribute significantly to the training of skilled health professionals and the enhancement of public health emergency response capabilities. Based on the current status
this study suggests to accelerate the dynamic updating of textbooks
strengthen clinical practice education
and promote international collaboration to better meet the demands of future infectious disease education.
