Program Overview
The diagnosis and rescue of acute poisoning constitute a crucial topic in clinical emergency medicine. Millions of drug and toxicant poisoning incidents occur annually across the world. Timely and accurate toxicological analysis and identification directly influence the choice of clinical treatment plans and are of vital importance in clinical emergency rescue. Currently, the emergency medical staff in tertiary general hospitals undertake a large amount of clinical treatment work for acute poisoning and medical rescue tasks for mass poisoning incidents. However, when confronted with complex clinical diseases such as poisoning, the deficiencies in professional knowledge such as clinical toxicology, toxicology, toxicokinetics, and toxicant detection among the existing poisoning treatment teams are exposed, which has become a shortcoming in poisoning treatment. In the past decade, with the rapid development of clinical toxicology and the gradual improvement of toxicant detection capabilities, it is urgent to build a professional poisoning treatment team, especially to cultivate technical talents for the identification of unknown toxicants.
Practice-based education is an important carrier of higher education teaching work under the new situation and an effective way to promote the formation of all-round education involving the whole staff and the entire process. This project intends to combine professional characteristics and promote the implementation of a trinity practice-based education model of "meeting clinical needs, highlighting professional features, and striving for innovative development". Through diversified carriers such as volunteer services, clinical practice, and professional internships, an innovative talent cultivation system for the identification of unknown toxicants in poisoning treatment will be established to achieve the goals of practice-based education and moral cultivation. The development of new technologies and projects in clinical actual work is one of the difficulties in clinical work and also a key point in the construction of the practice-based education system.
In response to the pain points and difficulties in the identification technology of unknown toxicants in poisoning rescue and the cultivation of relevant talents, the concept of the whole process of practice-based education and talent cultivation will be implemented. By means of innovating the methods and approaches of practice-based education, relying on strengthening the construction of practice-based education bases, and actively mobilizing and integrating various resources inside and outside the school, a joint force for practice-based education will be formed to build a long-term mechanism. Based on this, the application team pioneeringly applies the identification technology of unknown toxicants to clinical practice and constructs a rapid, comprehensive, and stable identification technology for unknown toxicants. By combining symptom analysis of patients with blood test results, the toxicant causing patient poisoning can be determined within 30 minutes, solving the "mystery of the unknown" and providing accurate evidence for clinical treatment, thus constructing a technical system for the identification of unknown toxicants in poisoning treatment. Secondly, by establishing practice bases and formulating operating procedures for the identification of unknown toxicants in clinical poisoning treatment, a practical platform will be provided for students majoring in clinical pharmacy, toxicology, clinical medicine, and other related majors to increase their clinical practice experience. Furthermore, the PBL model will be adopted to carry out teaching work. By simulating poisoning cases, with the assistance of teachers, students will operate to analyze possible poisoning substances, gradually establishing a curriculum system for the talent cultivation system of the identification of unknown toxicants in poisoning treatment based on the trinity practice-based education system, realizing the talent cultivation in the direction of unknown substance screening and identification.
The application team intends to ultimately form a cultivation plan for the talent cultivation system of the identification of unknown toxicants in poisoning treatment based on the trinity practice-based education system through such means, guiding students to establish value orientations that meet social and clinical needs, enhancing students' social responsibility to serve the country and the people, improving students' professional practical abilities, and cultivating students to become young people of the era with outstanding comprehensive abilities and a strong sense of moral responsibility.
