Chongqing Medical University: Party building activates the dual engines of scientific research and education.

A few days ago, Li Yingbo, vice president of the School of Basic Medicine of Chongqing Medical University, and his party once again came to Denver Children’s Rehabilitation Training Center in Yuzhong District. In the training room, volunteers from the school are assisting several special children to complete passing and jumping.

This is the eighth year that Li Yingbo has been engaged in autism research. In addition to teaching and research, Li Yingbo and his team members also actively participate in various public welfare activities such as rehabilitation training, consulting services, online counseling, community lectures, and on-site interaction. To his delight, the Neuroscience Research Center of Basic Medical College has attracted more and more teachers and students to join his team through the construction of transformational organization.

Chongqing Medical University is a pilot university in Chongqing to build a "Red Rock Pioneer" transformational organization in the new era. The Party Committee of the school explores the breakthrough of the traditional functional organizational structure of compartmentalization and vertical management, and promotes the model innovation of "one party is subordinate to one party and multiple management" in party member by creating a mixed organizational form that integrates various types.

In April this year, the basic medical college of our school co-ordinated a number of teaching and research departments engaged in neuroscience research, such as anatomy, physiology and pathogens, fully mobilized teaching and research staff and students, and established an innovative party organization of the neuroscience research center of the basic medical college. Innovative Party organizations integrate experts and scholars in related fields, and concentrate their efforts on scientific research around severe brain diseases such as cerebrovascular disease, Alzheimer’s disease and depression. Such cross-disciplinary collaborative research has achieved tangible results.

Zhao Mingming, a professor in the Department of Histology and Embryology of Basic Medical College, said that the innovative party organization integrated the disciplinary perspective, promoted interdisciplinary research, and promoted cross-cooperation among many research groups. "While building a high-quality research team, it also played the vanguard and exemplary role of party member".

"I learned about the autism research team for the first time at the organization life meeting. Today is the second time to observe it on the spot, which has accumulated valuable clinical experience for basic scientific research." Zhao Mingming believes that the innovative party organization, as a flexible and innovative form of party organization, can not only tackle key problems through problem-oriented organization, but also connect cutting-edge medical research, basic talent training and social welfare activities, "so that the effectiveness of party building can be felt in all aspects".

Breaking the boundaries between colleges, departments and grades, and improving the "all-coverage organization system" through innovative party organizations have also brought real changes to the student community.

Liu Zhaohong, director of the Student Affairs Office of Jinyun Campus, the First Clinical College of Chongqing Medical University, introduced that after the establishment of the innovative party organization, party building education activities such as "face-to-face discussion and exchange of young students" and community humanities lecture halls were held in the student community every week, and students could also invite famous academic and industrial teachers to share and exchange with the student community according to the project resources such as "College leaders talk about party classes", "Ideological and political teachers enter the community" and "Professor Reception Day".

"Following the concept of’ where there is party member, there is a Party organization’, innovative Party organizations have been established in the teaching and research fields and student communities of the whole school. The school supports and guides the innovative party organizations in the student community to carefully plan’ one community, one brand’, fully integrate’ five educations simultaneously’ into organizational activities and student community management, and lead the whole process of’ three-all education’ with the construction of transformational organizations. " Qin Zhengjie, secretary of the Party Committee of Chongqing Medical University, said.
