CSMU’s Definition of Interdisciplinary Approaches and Autonomous Learning:
In the educational philosophy of CSMU, interdisciplinary education refers to the integration of knowledge and skills from different disciplinary fields, breaking the boundaries between medical disciplines, and promoting a teaching model that facilitates the comprehensive development of students. This educational model emphasizes that students not only possess knowledge in individual medical subjects but also have the ability to transcend disciplinary boundaries, integrating knowledge and skills from multiple disciplines to solve complex real-life problems.
Autonomous learning, on the other hand, refers to students, under the guidance of flipped teaching by teachers, actively exploring learning content both inside and outside the classroom, fostering independent thinking and problem-solving skills throughout the learning process. In the framework of interdisciplinary approaches and autonomous learning, students engage in learning based on their interests and needs, transitioning from passive knowledge reception to active participation in the learning process, thereby achieving the goal of comprehensive development as medical professionals.
