A number of studies have pointed out that currently, medical schools may have failed to supply self-directed lifelong learners and qualified healthcare workers. Therefore, in recent years, the medical teaching modes have been consistently reformed. The new generation of novel education modes such as Research-Based Learning (RBL), Problem-Based Learning PBL), Team-Based Learning (TBL) have the characteristics of universality, interactivity, and promptness, which empower instructors and students to learn and grow together. Moreover, the reform of medical teaching modes has been significantly facilitated in the COVID19 era due to public’s rising awareness of public health and more obviously, pandemic prevention policies such as travel restrictions. For instance, many countries have launched remote teaching mode in order to provide consistent education service with high quality. These novel teaching modes can provide amelioration to the traditional education modes and may lead the education system to another prosperity.
The pandemic has also highlighted the emergency and importance of reinforcing the global public health management. The cultivation of outstanding public health personnel is of great strategic value in protecting the human welfare and social prosperity. For coping with the ceaseless strike of epidemic disease and smothering the spark before it ever prevails, the call for better public health system is now too loud to be ignored.
Our Research Topic aims to analyze the traditional teaching methods of public health education, introduce new teaching modes, and better enumerate the possible applications of each teaching mode in the teaching process of medical students, so that students' professional ability can be further improved. Moreover, this article collection aims to promote the forward march of public health education and the progress of public health development. In such process, we would like to figure out new directions for the advance of public health education and reveal changes to the society those reform may incur. Additionally, the COVID19 pandemic has reshaped the public awareness about public health, along with the education system underneath. We would like to make in-depth investigations about this impact, and ideally, provide enlightenment for later studies.
We welcome submissions of Original Research, Reviews, and Mini Reviews focusing on major trends and challenges in this field, including but not limited to:
• Retrospect on the development of public health education;
• Introductions of novel teaching techniques for public health education in early 21st century;
• Pros and cons about existing healthcare education modes and how the reform would reshape the future of public health;
• The impact of COVID19 pandemic on the field of public health and the change it brings to the post-COVID19 era.
