College students are important contributors to global innovation and entrepreneurship, making it increasingly important to improve related education, especially in medical schools. However, challenges remain due to the specific nature of medical training, economic differences across countries, and the lack of a well-developed system. In some regions, limited understanding has led to ineffective efforts and poor results, which has hindered progress, underscoring the need for a strategic, context-aware approach to innovation and entrepreneurship education in medical schools. This study employs bibliometric methods including Microsoft Excel, CiteSpace, VOSviewer and R language package of Bibliometricx software to analyze global publications published on Web of Science database from 2000 to 4 December 2024.The findings indicate that innovation and entrepreneurship education for medical students began later than in other fields and has faced implementation challenges. Publication trends align with national policies and significant events, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Developed countries dominate this field, while international collaboration has exacerbated regional disparities. Higher medical schools remain the primary contributors, reflecting the limited scope of this research area. Current studies emphasize the learning aspects of medical education but insufficiently address students' innovation and entrepreneurship abilities. The results also highlight critical gaps in current education models and suggest that integrating innovation and entrepreneurship more comprehensively into medical curricula is crucial for preparing students for the evolving healthcare landscape.Medical education must adopt an interdisciplinary approach, as global public health developments have shaped its trajectory. This study informs health policy by showing that innovation and entrepreneurship education strengthens medical students' ability to address global health challenges. It provides guidance for curriculum integration through interdisciplinary and context-driven approaches, underscoring the need to cultivate a culture of innovation to advance medical education and global health outcomes.
大学生是全球创新和创业的重要贡献者，因此改进相关教育变得越来越重要，尤其是在医学院校。然而，由于医学培训的特殊性、国家间的经济差异以及缺乏完善的体系，挑战依然存在。在一些地区，理解有限导致努力无效且成果不佳，阻碍了进展，这凸显了在医学院校采取战略性、因地制宜的创新和创业教育方法的必要性。本研究采用文献计量方法，包括Microsoft Excel、CiteSpace、VOSviewer以及Bibliometricx软件的R语言包，来分析2000年至2024年12月4日在Web of Science数据库上发表的全球出版物。研究结果表明，医学生的创新和创业教育起步晚于其他领域，且面临实施挑战。出版趋势与国家政策和重大事件（如新冠疫情）相一致。发达国家在这一领域占据主导地位，而国际合作加剧了地区差距。高等医学院校仍是主要贡献者，反映出这一研究领域的范围有限。当前研究强调医学教育的学习方面，但对学生的创新和创业能力关注不足。研究结果还凸显了当前教育模式中的关键差距，并表明将创新和创业更全面地融入医学课程对于使学生适应不断变化的医疗保健格局至关重要。随着全球公共卫生的发展塑造了医学教育的轨迹，医学教育必须采取跨学科方法。本研究通过表明创新和创业教育增强了医学生应对全球卫生挑战的能力，为卫生政策提供了参考。它通过跨学科和情境驱动的方法为课程整合提供了指导，强调了培养创新文化以推进医学教育和全球卫生成果的必要性。
