Abstract

As an important component of traditional Chinese medicine, Mongolian medicine occupies an irreplaceable position in safeguarding people’s health. With the continuous rise in social expectations for the quality of medical services, increasing attention has been paid to the quality of training for Mongolian medicine professionals. The Mongolian Medicine Physician Qualification Examination is a key standard for industry access; it is both an important indicator for measuring the quality of Mongolian medicine education and a core element in ensuring the quality and safety of medical services. At present, the graduation assessment for Mongolian medicine majors at our university is mainly based on the traditional thesis defense, which makes it difficult to evaluate students’ clinical practice ability and overall quality comprehensively. As a result, graduates find it hard to adapt to actual needs after entering the medical industry, and the pass rate of the physician qualification examination is relatively low. Therefore, reforming the graduation assessment methods for Mongolian medicine majors based on industry access requirements is of great significance for improving the quality of Mongolian medicine education and cultivating qualified Mongolian medicine talents.
