“…Medicine holds the unique characteristic of mutual promotion through communication and development in discussion (Haahr et al, 2020). Medical students have the mission of expanding their international horizons, taking on the responsibility of the great national rejuvenation, and fostering morality (Sehgal, 2018). In this international medical curriculum teaching practice, we cooperate with internationally renowned universities and adopts a "trinity" closed-loop teaching management model of school top-level design, the integration of teachers and students, and the active promotion of students, aiming at the forefront of international academics and integrating the international teaching method.…”

Introduction: Global competence is an essential quality for compound talents. Clinical medicine is an interdisciplinary subject that requires an international perspective. Therefore, it is crucial for developing countries to break the domestic cramming education model and develop medical course that can fully cultivate students' cutting-edge and independent thinking ability. Methods: We undertook a "Medical Core Literacy Online Training Class", and cooperated with internationally renowned universities to train students' core medical literacy and cutting-edge thinking through this course. We chose 80 outstanding senior undergraduate and graduate students to participate in our course. The effectiveness was evaluated by comparing the results of stage tests and questionnaires of these medical students with those who did not participate in our course.Results: The overwhelming majority of students demonstrate that the course cycle arrangement is reasonable, and the course harvest meets or even exceeds their expectations. Our course has generally improved the comprehensive quality of students, especially the improvement of research methods, listening and speaking skills, and pioneering thinking abilities. 79 out of the 80 students have developed initiative to leran new knowledge.Conclusions: "Medical Core Literacy Online Training Class" is beneficial to develop the global competence of medical students and this teaching method is helpful for developing countries to cultivate high-quality medical talents with critical thinking ability.

“…The particular group, that is, medical students, could be especially interesting, as those current university students in the future probably can play an essential role as opinion leaders in establishing norms of life for the general public and their patients ( Leslie et al, 1999 ; Sehgal, 2018 ).…”

Background Regular physical activity supports healthy behavior and contributes to the reduction of preventable diseases. Students in their social transition period are the ideal groups for interventions. The higher education period, associated with demanding changes and poor time management, results in a low level of physical activity. In this age, social media usually are a suitable channel of communication and multicomponent interventions are the most desirable. It has not been sufficiently investigated how effective a Web-based approach is among university students when it comes to physical activity in the long-term period. We combined a Web-based approach with motivational interviews and tested these two interventions together and separate to assess their impact on improving the physical activity of medical students 1 year after the intervention. Methods All 514 first-year students at the Faculty of Medicine in Belgrade were invited to fill in a baseline questionnaire. Also, they underwent measurement of weight, height and waist circumference. After that, students selected a 6 months intervention according to their preference: Intervention through social media (Facebook) (Group 1) or combined with a motivational interview (Group 2). Group 3 consisted of students without any intervention. One year after completion of the 6 months intervention period, all students were invited to a second comprehensive assessment. Analyses were performed employing a wide range of statistical testing, including direct logistic regression, to identify determinants of increased physical activity measured by an average change of Metabolic Equivalent of Task (MET). This outcome measure was defined as the difference between the values at baseline and one year after completion of the 6 months intervention period. Results Due to a large number of potential determinants of the change of MET, three logistic regression models considered three groups of independent variables: basic socio-demographic and anthropometric data, intervention and willingness for change, and health status with life choices. The only significant model comprised parameters related to the interventions (p < 0.001). It accurately classified 73.5% of cases. There is a highly significant overall effect for type of intervention (Wald = 19.5, df = 2, p < 0.001) with high odds for the increase of physical activity. Significant relationship between time and type of intervention also existed (F = 7.33, p < 0.001, partial η2 = 0.091). The influence of both factors (time and interventions) led to a change (increase) in the dependent variable MET. Conclusion Our study confirmed the presence of low-level physical activity among students of medicine and showed that multicomponent interventions have significant potential for positive change. The desirable effects of the Web-based intervention are higher if an additional booster is involved, such as a motivational interview.

“…Moreover, medical students can influence the establishment of different policies that facilitate lifestyle transformation through conducting or attending different local and international dialogues, symposiums, and conferences in collaboration with policy makers in discussing matters related to healthy lifestyles whereby they can give out their professional views toward solving some health-related challenges as junior medical experts [25,26] . Through this, they can shape the national health system in a positive way and affect the health of people positively [27] . Fortunately, professional student-based organizations like IFMSA have been organizing such events nationally and internationally.…”
