He is currently a professor and doctoral supervisor at West China College of Stomatology, Sichuan University, and the dean of West China College of Stomatology, Sichuan University. The State Council is a member of the discipline evaluation team, director of the stomatology teaching steering committee of the Ministry of Education, vice president of the Chinese Stomatological Association, and chairman of the China District of the International Dental College. He is mainly engaged in the research on the etiology and prevention of dental caries, and presided over many research projects, such as the key projects of the National Natural Science Foundation, the national key scientific and technological projects in the Tenth Five-Year Plan and the Eleventh Five-Year Plan, and the key clinical construction projects of the Ministry of Health. As a century-old famous school, Huaxi College of Stomatology has its unique aspect in the education and training of medical talents, which is the elite education concept of "selecting talents, high standards, strict requirements and elimination system" revealed by Huaxi school motto. For more than 100 years, "Huaxi people" have been adhering to this school-running concept and trained a large number of stomatological elites for China. At present, the first directors of stomatology in more than 80 universities in China are almost all "Huaxi people". In order to implement the Outline of the National Medium-and Long-Term Education Reform and Development Plan 20 10-2020, Huaxi is actively implementing the "323 X" undergraduate innovative talents training plan, and strives to cultivate stomatological talents with profound humanistic background, solid professional knowledge, strong innovative consciousness and broad international vision. "There is no rule to follow in the cultivation of innovative talents, but it is important to explore." Zhou Xuedong believes that the study and mastery of professional skills is naturally the first priority in cultivating elite dentists. However, in recent years, "Huaxi" has started with improving students' comprehensive quality, paying equal attention to professional skills and humanistic education, obviously strengthening the proportion of humanistic knowledge education, and at the same time paying attention to the cultivation of students' practical ability and innovative ability, striving for two-wheel drive and cultivating talents who can meet the needs of the times and society. "During the establishment of China Stomatology Museum, our students participated in the exhibition hall design, data collection and other specific work, organically combined with the undergraduate innovative talent training plan, and exercised their practical ability and innovative ability." Zhou Xuedong said, "Huaxi" has also set up a lecture team of China Stomatological Museum, with students as lecturers, so that students can learn more about the history of stomatology and show and improve their comprehensive quality by receiving experts at home and abroad. "We also support students to carry out various extracurricular activities to show their colorful learning and lifestyle." Zhou Xuedong said that the China Journal of Stomatology Information founded by Huaxi has set up a student editorial department, which is edited by students. This move encourages students to actively understand and master the major events, important events and new things in stomatology and understand the latest development of the discipline. People-oriented implementation of personalized training plan "2 1 century is the century of life science, and people have higher expectations for the development of stomatology." Zhou Xuedong said that stomatology education should focus on cultivating innovative talents to meet the needs of the new century. Therefore, "Huaxi" has established a four-in-one teaching model with "theoretical teaching as the starting point, experimental simulation as the bridge, professional foreign language refining professional knowledge and clinical practice as the support". First of all, the implementation of "personalized" training program for students. "Huaxi" carries out wide-caliber training according to different students' interests and potentials. Zhou Xuedong said that the new training mode enables students to pay attention to the cultivation of learning ability and practical innovation ability in the stage of general education and professional basic education, and consolidate basic medical knowledge. At the same time, through different innovative platforms, new courses are appropriately offered, elective courses are added, and the exchange of interdisciplinary and innovative thinking is emphasized, so as to achieve the goal of cultivating stomatological talents with both professional skills and communication skills, humanistic quality and innovative consciousness. Secondly, "Huaxi" has also established a "multi-stage" tutorial system, which adopts different tutorial systems to coach and cultivate students' learning ability and skills at different stages. "Multi-stage" tutorial system takes care of students' growth characteristics as much as possible, highlights the advantages of individualized training, and plays an important role in cultivating students' individual innovation ability and building group innovation ability. Third, while strengthening the construction of basic disciplines, "Huaxi" has added new courses and disciplines according to the new needs of social development, further enriching and perfecting the teaching system. For example, the introduction of stomatology and oral behavioral medicine for junior students, the practice and application course of oral clinical pharmacology for senior students, and the academic research course of oral microbiology and oral biochemistry have laid a good foundation for students to enter the scientific research hall of stomatology. In addition, in the development of interdisciplinary subjects, "Huaxi" pays attention to the practicality of disciplines and the actual needs of society, and also takes into account the innovation and foresight of these disciplines. At present, we focus on sports stomatology, forensic stomatology, aerospace stomatology and stomatology for the disabled. Zhou Xuedong believes that international academic exchanges and cooperation are crucial to the development of disciplines, so Huaxi attaches great importance to foreign language teaching. In order to enable students to communicate with their foreign counterparts smoothly, the school also adopts a "dual-track" teaching mode, that is, specialized courses are conducted simultaneously with specialized foreign languages, and specialized courses are taught in bilingual mode, focusing on introducing nouns and phrases related to majors, while subsequent specialized foreign languages courses focus on strengthening the description and expression of various diseases and clinical situational dialogues. The school also encourages students to actively participate in various forms of international exchanges and academic activities, and constantly increases the proportion of students visiting or studying abroad, so as to enhance the international awareness and competitiveness of "Huaxi" students. In order to improve students' foreign language level and broaden their international horizons, the school invites famous foreign teachers into the lecture hall, and strives to have world-renowned professors in every course. In addition, the "Huaxi" State Key Laboratory of Oral Disease Research has built a good academic ecosystem for the cultivation of innovative talents. Relying on this platform, the school actively implements the national and school's "innovative experimental plan for college students" and "scientific research and training plan for college students", and sets up innovative talent research fund and scientific research and training plan in the State Key Laboratory of Oral Disease Research for undergraduates. At present, "Huaxi" students * * * have completed five national innovation experiment plans for college students and 16 1 scientific research training plans for college students. At the same time, relying on the State Key Laboratory, the school regularly invites famous experts or first-class scholars in different fields to hold lectures or special reports. 65438+ holds 0-2 undergraduate innovation forums and doctoral forums every year; Regularly send outstanding students to study and exchange abroad. These measures not only improve students' interest and enthusiasm for knowledge, but also cultivate students' innovative thinking and scientific research ability. More importantly, they broaden students' international horizons and are conducive to their growth, success and success. West China School of Stomatology, Sichuan University is the birthplace of modern stomatology in China, with the reputation of "a century of West China, the golden oral cavity". Entering the outpatient hall of Huaxi Stomatological Hospital, the slogan "There are three treasures in Sichuan: panda, Sichuan cuisine and Huaxi tooth" on the electronic display screen is particularly eye-catching.
