ABSTRACT

This study explores innovative industry-education integration models for cultivating medical-engineering talents in higher education institutions within the context of digital livelihood. It analyzes both the current demands for talent driven by the upgrading of digital social services and the emerging trends in medical-engineering convergence, highlighting existing challenges and opportunities in talent development in this respect. Furthermore, drawing on successful experiences, this study suggests a new insight into industry-education collaboration model aimed at cultivating interdisciplinary talents in medical-engineering integration. Through theoretical teaching and practical training, the article integrates the three main entities of higher education institutions, hospitals, and enterprises to achieve integration in disciplines, curriculum, and platforms. Finally, the article details innovative strategies and specific implementation paths, including the construction of an interdisciplinary teaching system and a project-driven workshop practice system.
