Health economics is an important part of general education for medical students

but the traditional

professional-education-oriented health economics courses is not adapt to the requirements of medical students’ general education

which makes it necessary to reconstruct the course based on the concept of general education. Firstly

the course target should be reestablished with the full implementation of general education concept. Secondly

the teaching contents should be comprehensively optimized with a substantial streamlining of traditional content system. Thirdly

the teaching methods should be improved in order to meet the demands of the target. Finally

according to the teaching practice

it is suggested that more effort should be put on the teaching ability of teachers

the mining of new methods and cases

and the construction of high quality teaching materials.
