This paper analyzes the “dual-track” teaching model based on Outcome-Based Education (OBE), incorporating Case-Based Learning (CBL) and Team-Based Learning (TBL) within the new medical education framework. It also integrates blended online and offline teaching, develops an online resource platform for forensic courses, and consolidates various teaching and internship resources to create an offline teaching platform. The aim is to enhance students’ self-directed learning, practical skills, and professional competencies. The requirements for cultivating medical talents in this context are comprehensive and diverse, stressing the integration of ideological elements throughout the teaching process to nurture high-level forensic professionals with solid knowledge, ethical standards, innovative capabilities, and a global perspective.
