Abstract

The integration of intercultural communication competence into medical English teaching is an important teaching reform topic in the context of medical internationalization and increasingly frequent cultural exchanges. The current medical English teaching focuses on the training of language skills, which is difficult to meet the complex requirements of cross-cultural communication ability in clinical work. By analyzing the teaching significance of cross-cultural competence training, this study identifies the practical difficulties such as concept solidification, lack of resources and lack of evaluation system, and then systematically constructs an effective integration path from three dimensions of curriculum content reconstruction, teaching mode innovation and practice platform expansion, aiming at providing practical theoretical reference and practical scheme for improving the quality of medical personnel training.
