At the same time, in the face of the impact and challenges of the new era, front-line medical workers have forged valuable spiritual wealth in the practice of fighting against COVID-19, which contains family feelings, dedication, scientific spirit and humanitarian spirit. To integrate this spiritual connotation into the medical ethics education of medical students is the need for the country to cultivate qualified medical talents in the future, and is also the requirement of the fundamental task of establishing morality and cultivating talents. In view of the characteristics of "Generation Z" medical students, we will further expand the path of innovative medical ethics education methods, create the campus culture of medical ethics, innovate the social practice of medical ethics education, promote the ideological and political construction of professional courses, and improve the evaluation system of medical ethics education, with a view to providing some guidance for the current construction of medical ethics education in colleges and universities.展开更多
