To conform to the college English teaching reform from English for General Purposes （EGP） to English for Academic Purposes （EAP） in the vital transfer era

the Foreign Language Department of Second Military Medical University （SMMU） launched an English for Medical Academic Purpose （EMAP） curriculum with English Forum on Medical Humanities （EFMH）

a project-based teaching practice. Based on Rogers’ learner-centered humanistic teaching approach which emphasizes students’ involvement and experiences in learning

EFMH puts students and their practice in a central place. After four-year exploration and operation

the Forum has developed from a small-scaled embryo into an internationalized

standardized and professionalized event

having produced fruitful outcomes. It is expected that the success of EFMH will provide inspiring experiences and enlightenments for higher medical education in terms of academic English teaching and teachers’ responsibilities to foster high-quality medical students.
