It is the focus of higher education reform in the new era to comprehensively promote the construction of ideology and political education based on the characteristics of professional courses and enhancing the effectiveness of ideology and political education. As an important basic course for medical students in colleges, molecular biology is closely related to basic medical disciplines and clinical medicine, and is a rapidly developing cutting-edge discipline, which has the natural advantage of serving as a carrier of ideology and political education. In this study, the innovative integration of project-based group study (PBGS) with the outcome-oriented behavior (OBE) of moral education is applied to the teaching of the ideology and politics of the medical molecular biology course, and the integration of the two has made a useful exploration to enhance the effectiveness of the ideology and politics teaching of the course. Taking students as the center, we have constructed an ideology and politics teaching system for medical molecular biology courses by combining on-line and off-line teaching activities through improving the teaching objectives, innovating the teaching design, digging into the case of ideology and politics, introducing a variety of teaching methods, strengthening the management of teaching practice, and optimizing the evaluation mode. After two years of teaching practice, this model has effectively improved the teaching effect of the medical molecular biology course. The academic performance of the students in the practice group has improved significantly, and the teachers and students have been given excellent evaluation. The results of the questionnaires before and after class showed that more than 80% of the students believed that their horizons had been broadened and their knowledge had been increased through learning. More than 50% of the students believed that their learning ability and innovation consciousness had been improved; their scientific research quality had been improved; and their confidence in studying medicine had been strengthened. By strengthening the cultivation of students’ scientific research and innovation capabilities, we guided students to participate in subject competitions and won many national awards. Throughout the teaching process, we aim to expand the breadth and depth of ideology and political education, cultivate scientific spirits, innovation ability, moral cultivation, and humanistic qualities. In sum, our work provides experiences for the cultivation of high-quality medical talents.
