In response to the major national strategic needs of Healthy China and Innovation-Driven Development

Sichuan University

as a pilot university of Excellent Doctor Education and Training Plan-Top Innovative Medical Personnel Training

has been exploring the training strategies since 2012. On the basis of the international theory of The Third Generation of Medical Education based on Health System

we have innovatively put forward the new era of Med+ education theory based on research-oriented hospitals (with medical/research/translational facility) and the two-level training paradigm from cultivating professionalism to notch up to top by planting three cultures. We have also developed a competency training system of Five Integrated Curricula and Five Teaching & Learning Strategies. We have shifted from didactic teaching to formative learning

edifying excellent doctors with professionalism culture. We have initiated two kinds of top-notch plans

constructed a 1+2+3 innovation and entrepreneurship education system

explored transformative learning to incubate compound top-notch personnel with innovative culture

opened up a school-hospital unified administrative system

built a PDCA closed-loop of quality control supported by mobile technology

and recast the quality culture to ensure shifting from cultivating professionalism to notch up to top.
