Research on the Construction of Aesthetic Education in Medical Universities Under the Background of New Medicine

In response to the demand for cultivating interdisciplinary medical talent under the "New Medical Science" initiative and to address challenges such as the marginalization of aesthetic education and its inadequate integration with specialized training in medical universities, this study aims to develop a systematic framework for implementing aesthetic education. Grounded in policy directives and theoretical analysis, this research proposes a tripartite aesthetic education model centered on "Life Aesthetics – Medical Humanities – Practical Innovation." This model is fundamentally guided by the spirit of Chinese aesthetic education, seeking to integrate the life aesthetics of "the beauty of vitality" with the medical ethical traditions of "benevolent heart and art" and "great virtue and sincerity," thereby enhancing its cultural identity and practical applicability. Through four practical pathways – curriculum restructuring, pedagogical innovation, cultural immersion, and institutional coordination – aesthetic education is integrated throughout the entire process of medical professional education. The goal is to foster the synergistic development of medical students' aesthetic cognition, humanistic sensibility, and innovative capabilities, ultimately providing a theoretical and practical framework for cultivating a new generation of medical professionals who are clinically competent, ethically grounded, culturally confident, and innovative.
