With the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, AI-enabled blended teaching models have gradually been introduced into higher medical education. By deeply integrating online and offline learning and utilizing intelligent teaching methods, this model provides a new pathway for improving education quality and enhancing students' overall literacy. This approach not only demonstrates advantages in teaching resource allocation and personalized learning support, but also offers new support for cultivating the research thinking and practical skills of public health graduate students. In this context, this paper focuses on public health graduate students, reviewing the current status and issues in the cultivation of research innovation and practical abilities. It explores the mechanism of AI-enabled blended teaching and aims to provide theoretical references and practical pathways for improving the quality of public health graduate education under the background of the new medical disciplines.
