ABSTRACT

With the continuing reform of innovation and entrepreneurship education in Chinese higher education, foreign language majors in medical universities need to explore practical ways to connect professional learning with students' future development. For foreign language undergraduates, Three-Creativity Education can be understood more broadly than starting a business or taking part in competitions. Its main value is to help students use language knowledge to understand real needs, complete practical tasks, and improve problem-solving ability. Medical universities have resources in medicine, nursing, pharmacy, traditional Chinese medicine culture, health communication, and medical services. These resources provide useful support for foreign language education with medical characteristics. Based on relevant literature and the teaching context of medical universities, this paper discusses the significance, areas for further improvement, and improvement pathways of coordinating Three-Creativity Education with foreign language majors. It suggests that universities should integrate Three-Creativity awareness into classroom teaching, design small and medium-sized projects suitable for undergraduates, strengthen interdisciplinary cooperation, and improve teacher guidance. These measures can help students build professional identity and improve practical competence.
