Curriculum integration and problem based learning (PBL) is the development trend of medical education all over the world, and it is an effective mode to train high-quality medical talents to meet the needs of the times and national medical and health services. However, PBL is difficult to popular-ize in an all-round way at present due to the large enrollment of clinical medicine major in medical colleges and univer-sities in China.
