Abstract: Undergraduates in various medical majors have an urgent need to learn the molecular biology techniques, which are essential for conducting bio medical research. However, the current experiment teaching for undergraduates cannot meet their learning needs. In this study we set up an elective course of molecular biology techniques (named Molecular Biology Techniques Learning Workshop) for undergraduates in Peking University, to explore a new model of molecular biology experiment teaching that seeks to meet the current needs of medical education. From 2020, a total of 33 undergraduates from multiple majors (including basic medicine, clinical medicine, and pharmacy et al) have selected the course. After three rounds, a questionnaire was distributed to evaluate the teaching effect. The course was praised and recommended by students, which was characterized by small class, active learning, spaced learning and peer-assisted learning. The elective course may meet the needs of medical undergraduates and has strong practical significance in cultivating students′ experimental and scientific research skills. It can be used as a complementary form of molecular biology techniques teaching for undergraduates, or perhaps as one item of the early research ability training system, which may be worth promoting.
