Objective To investigate the basic situation of existing medical English teaching methods and objects, develop medical English course content and teaching methods, and evaluate teaching effectiveness. Methods  The existing medical English teaching methods were summarized based on literature retrieval, and both the basic level of medical students and data related to teaching effectiveness were collected by questionnaire surveys. Results  Medical English teaching could be optimized by adjusting the content of medical English teaching, increasing the proportion of English teaching, and emphasizing the application of emerging electronic products in extracurricular English learning. Teaching methods could adopt various forms such as flipped classrooms. A questionnaire survey showed that most of the students (64.94%) were not satisfied with their current English level. These students fully recognized the importance of medical English. Based on the above results, medical English courses were offered in two semesters. This course adopts theoretical lectures, small-class teaching and other teaching methods. Scenario simulation and flipped classroom were also used. Conclusion  Medical English courses should include medical vocabulary, clinical medical English, vocational medical English and academic medical English. Flipped classroom and other teaching methods should be flexibly applied.
