The Ministry of Education (MoE) in China has issued a Notice outlining the “Professional Guidelines for Training Talent in the Healthcare Industry,” which includes the establishment of five new medical majors for universities to offer to Chinese students. The initiative, crafted by MoE experts, is designed to nurture talents in areas that are urgently required by the health industry and to support ongoing healthcare reforms.
The newly introduced majors are Medical Device and Equipment Engineering, focusing on the technical aspects of medical technology; Geriatrics Medicine and Health, addressing the healthcare needs of an aging population; Healthcare and Medical Insurance, which includes practical training on health insurance product design; Pharmaceutical Economics and Management, covering pharmacoeconomics and cost-effectiveness evaluations; and Biomedical Data Sciences, encompassing big data analysis and mining, big data system development, and big data bioinformatics, with applications in big data healthcare and public health management.- Flcube.com
