In order to adapt to the pace of vocational education reform, the ideological and political teaching strategy in the practical training course of parasitology laboratory in colleges and universities in regions inhabited by ethnic groups is deeply explored, so as to cultivate more medical laboratory technology professionals that meet the needs of society.

A total of 684 students majoring in medical laboratory technology from grade 2018, 2019 and 2020 in Qiannan Medical College were selected as the research objects. Among them, grade 2018 was the traditional teaching group, which adopted the traditional teaching method. Grade 2019 and 2020 were the ideological and political teaching groups of the curriculum, and they have established a perfect curriculum ideological and political database, built and practiced the "six into six integration" curriculum ideological and political systems, highlighting the characteristics of medical disciplines, curriculum ideological, political leadership and times. The assessment results and teaching satisfaction of the two groups were compared.

Through the above practices, the pass rate and excellent rate of the assessment results, the proportion of students participating in skills competitions, and the rate of students upgrading to bachelor's degree in the ideological and political education teaching group were all better than those in the traditional teaching group (P<0.05). Students generally accepted the teaching method of integrating ideological and political elements into the classroom, with a satisfaction rate exceeding 95%.

The reform and practice of ideological and political teaching in the parasitology laboratory training course in colleges in regions inhabited by ethnic groups can not only effectively improve academic performance, but also realize the organic combination of parasitic knowledge dissemination, ability training, skill improvement and ideological and political goals, and improve the quality of personnel training.
