Application and Practice of a 3D Model–Driven Clinically Oriented, Three-Stage Progressive Teaching Program in Histology and Embryology

Abstract

<title>Abstract</title> Objective To implement the educational philosophy of fostering virtue and talent, this study aimed to develop and evaluate a 3D model–driven, clinically oriented, three-stage progressive teaching program in Histology and Embryology, designed to cultivate application-oriented medical professionals with clinical reasoning and practical skills. Methods The proposed teaching program divided the learning process into three sequential phases: knowledge verification, preliminary exploration, and practical application. It integrated multiple instructional tools—including medical illustrations, clay models, 3D-printed models, AI-based animations, and online learning resources—to facilitate the combination of theoretical understanding, spatial visualization, and clinical application skills. The model was implemented in undergraduate medical courses, and student outcomes were evaluated through academic performance, spatial reasoning tests, clinical problem-solving exercises, and participation in research and science communication activities. Results Implementation of the program significantly improved students’ academic performance, spatial reasoning, and clinical problem-solving abilities. Students achieved excellent outcomes in drawing, model construction, photomicrography, and slide interpretation competitions. The number of student-led research projects and science communication activities also increased substantially, reflecting enhanced research awareness and innovation capability. Conclusion The 3D model–driven, clinically oriented, three-stage progressive teaching program provides an effective, scalable, and transferable framework for basic medical education reform. It promotes integration of theoretical knowledge, spatial understanding, and clinical application, offering valuable insights and practical experience for cultivating innovative and application-oriented medical professionals in the era of New Medical Sciences.
