Abstract: PURPOSE: To explore the content setting and teaching method innovation of undergraduate education of medical humanities of stomatology,and to evaluate the teaching effect. METHODS: Medical humanities of stomatology education was introduced throughout the undergraduate training,focusing on experiential and situational teaching,and increasing the proportion of practical courses. The self-designed questionnaire was used to obtain the satisfaction evaluation of the students on the curriculum in 2021 and 2022, and a comparative analysis was made to reflect the changes in teaching results. SPSS 22.0 software package was used for data analysis. RESULTS: In 2021,medical humanities of stomatology curriculum offered 12 courses with a total of 24 class hours,and the teaching method was simply theoretical delivery.In 2022,there were 16 lectures totaling 38 class hours, including 12 practice classes.The teaching innovation content adopted a model of combining theory with practice,and explicit courses with invisible courses.Through the analysis of questionnaire data,students' satisfaction with the curriculum in 2022 increased compared with that in 2021. CONCLUSIONS: The undergraduate education of stomatology humanities should be student-centered,rich in teaching content, combination of theory and practice,as well as combination of explicit courses and invisible courses can achieve better teaching results.
