Uphold Fundamental Principles and Break New Ground and Work Persistently to Build a First-Class Forensic Medicine Discipline.

Abstract

The construction of first-class universities and disciplines is a major strategic initiative of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the State Council, and an important task for building a world-class higher education powerhouse. Forensic medicine was officially listed as a first-level discipline under the medical category in 2022, presenting unprecedented historical opportunities for the development of forensic medicine. Facing this significant strategic opportunity, this paper sorts out the disciplinary system of forensic medicine, carries out forward-looking planning for the development of the discipline, and looks forward to the development vision of the discipline: (1) Establish an organically connected three-stage forensic medicine talent training system to cultivate applied and innovative talents that meet the needs of China's socialist modernization construction; (2) Establish a unified standardized forensic practice qualification examination system, organically connect talent training with professional qualification examination, and optimize the professional development path of forensic medicine; (3) Widely intersect, integrate and transform forensic medicine with other multiple disciplines, expand and enrich the second- and third-level disciplinary systems of forensic medicine, and build a world-class forensic medicine discipline with Chinese characteristics.
