Medical parasitology education has been facing some difficulties, because it is a course of wide range, lacking clinical cases and concerned specimens of parasites currently. In addition, its relationship with life is not closely enough. All these reasons may impact the effect of class education negatively. Therefore, it is important to increase the vitality of parasitology education and diversify the instructional mode by using the resources from Internet. In recent years, the Discovery Channel has uploaded a documentary Monsters Inside Me online. This documentary is high professional and closely linked with parasitology. It maintains numbers of clinical cases about parasitic diseases. Each episode is about 3 minutes and shortly enough to be introduced into class teaching. However, this resource has not been fully used in domestic temporally. We found that direct introduction of the documentary into class teaching can enrich teaching forms to attract learning interest of students, and finally improve the teaching effect of class. Above that, another popular documentary A Bite of China involves many related knowledge points of parasitology. The appropriate usage of the knowledge can build up close linkage between book and life, which is extremely helpful to give students a deep impression of parasitology. In brief, it is our strong recommendation to introduce the documentary Monsters Inside Me into class.
医学寄生虫学教育一直面临一些困难，因为它是一门范围广泛的课程，目前缺乏临床病例和相关寄生虫标本。此外，它与生活的联系不够紧密。所有这些原因可能会对课堂教育效果产生负面影响。因此，利用互联网资源来增强寄生虫学教育的活力并使教学模式多样化很重要。近年来，探索频道在网上上传了一部纪录片《寄生虫入侵》。这部纪录片专业性很强，与寄生虫学联系紧密。它包含了大量关于寄生虫病的临床病例。每集大约3分钟，时长较短，足以引入课堂教学。然而，目前该资源在国内尚未得到充分利用。我们发现，直接将这部纪录片引入课堂教学可以丰富教学形式，吸引学生的学习兴趣，最终提高课堂教学效果。除此之外，另一部热门纪录片《舌尖上的中国》涉及许多寄生虫学的相关知识点。合理运用这些知识可以在书本与生活之间建立紧密联系，这对让学生对寄生虫学留下深刻印象非常有帮助。简而言之，我们强烈建议将纪录片《寄生虫入侵》引入课堂。
