From August 23 to August 24, the final of the 10th National Undergraduate Forum on Basic Medical Innovation Research and Experimental Design and the 2024 "Belt and Road" International Undergraduate Medical Basic Research Innovation Design Forum were held on the South Campus of Sun Yat-sen University. This competition was sponsored by the Basic Medicine Group of the Joint Conference of National Experimental Teaching Demonstration Centers in Colleges and Universities and the Collaborative Education Working Group for Innovation and Entrepreneurship in Basic Medicine in Colleges and Universities. It was officially included in the Catalogue of Competitions for College Students in Regular Institutions of Higher Education released by the Chinese Society of Higher Education in 2023. Both the number of participating universities and the number of participants in this year's competition reached the highest level in history.

Ten student teams from Zhongshan School of Medicine, under the careful guidance of instructors and after intensive training and drills in the school, went through two days of fierce competition in the final. Eventually, with a rigorous academic style, solid foundation and confident demeanor, they stood out from 876 participating teams and won 6 gold medals, 3 silver medals and 1 bronze medal, as well as 2 Best Style Awards and 1 Best Teamwork Award, refreshing the award record once again!
The School of Medicine, Guanghua School of Stomatology, School of Public Health and School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, which were coordinated by our school for participation, also achieved excellent results with a total of 5 gold medals, 2 silver medals and 2 bronze medals.

Since the launch of this year's competition, our school has made every effort to improve the overall level of the participating teams with a high sense of responsibility and mission. From taking the lead in organizing the intra-school selection competitions of various colleges in the Medical Department, to undertaking the organization work of the competitions for the participating colleges, and until finally advancing to the national final, our school has continuously strengthened the overall organization within the school, carried out intensive competition training in the form of combining "instructors' individual guidance + school's centralized drills", and simultaneously provided training for the participating students from brother colleges such as the School of Medicine.

From the fierce competition in the regional competitions to the peak showdown in the national competition, Zhongshan School of Medicine not only achieved the best result in the history of the school in this competition but also helped the colleges in the Medical Department of our university jointly maintain the proud achievement of ranking first in the total number of gold medals in the country. The attainment of this result is the best affirmation for every participant and striver, and vividly demonstrates the good effect of the school in practicing the fine tradition of "Three Basics, Three Stricts and Three Earlies". Zhongshan School of Medicine will continue to pursue excellence, promote teaching, learning and reform through competitions, and contribute to cultivating more medical talents with an international perspective and innovative ability.
