Abstract

This study explores the innovation and entrepreneurship education model in medical education under the background of "New Medical Science," aiming to cultivate interdisciplinary talents that can meet the future healthcare needs. With the advancement of the national innovation strategy, "New Medical Science" emphasizes not only the transmission of professional knowledge but also the development of interdisciplinary integration and innovation capabilities to address the rapid changes in medical technology. A survey was conducted to assess the innovation and entrepreneurship competencies of medical students at Pingdingshan University. The results show that students have a high level of awareness and participation in innovation and entrepreneurship education, yet there is a need to strengthen the integration of skill enhancement with professional knowledge. Based on the survey findings and theoretical foundations of innovation and entrepreneurship, the paper proposes pathways to enhance medical students' innovation and entrepreneurship abilities, focusing on strengthening faculty development, improving the curriculum system, promoting the integration of specialty and entrepreneurship, and optimizing educational models. These efforts aim to cultivate medical professionals with stronger innovation and practical capabilities, contributing to the realization of the "Healthy China" strategy.
