As a core and main course for disciplines such as pharmacy and clinical medicine, pharmacology serves as a crucial bridge connecting basic medicine with clinical medicine, and pharmacy with medicine. Its teaching quality directly relates to the professional competence and professional ethics cultivation of medical and pharmaceutical talents. As an important measure to implement the fundamental task of cultivating morality and fostering people, integrating ideological and political education into pharmacology teaching is not only an inevitable requirement to respond to the national strategy of higher education reform but also a key path to enhance the connotation of pharmacology teaching and cultivate medical and pharmaceutical talents who are both morally and professionally excellent. This paper systematically reviews the current research status, integration paths, and existing problems of the integration of ideological and political education with pharmacology teaching by combining relevant educational research findings. It explores optimized strategies for their deep integration based on the latest national education and medical industry policies, providing theoretical references and practical insights for subsequent construction of ideological and political education in pharmacology courses, and contributing to the high-quality development of medical and pharmaceutical education.
