Traditional medical education lays too much emphasis on the teaching of professional knowledge and the training of clinical skills, while neglecting the development of students’ social and emotional abilities. In view of this, this study suggests that medical education curriculum design needs to realize the paradigm shift from “skill-based” to “whole-person education”, that is, on the basis of consolidating professional knowledge and skills, more attention should be paid to the cultivation of students’ social and emotional abilities. Therefore, this study aims to construct a new way to effectively integrate social and emotional competence training with critical thinking education model. This requires educators to design interdisciplinary curriculum systems to ensure that the curriculum content closely follows the natural laws of critical thinking development; at the same time, it requires innovation in classroom teaching culture and the adoption of a variety of innovative teaching methods. Especially, this research innovatively introduces the critical thinking teaching model combining “midwifery” and metacognition, and establishes a comprehensive and detailed evaluation and feedback mechanism. This study aims to promote the profound reform and continuous optimization of medical education mode, aiming at cultivating a group of medical talents with high social responsibility and excellent clinical skills, as well as good social and emotional abilities, so as to contribute to the future development of medical and health undertakings.
