Abstract: For the course of "mine dust prevention theory and occupational health", the "science, engineering and medical integration" teaching exploration and practice are carried out, and the "collaborative independent learning" and "knowledge-practice-competition" methods are proposed to be applied to the teaching process of innovation ability training. Starting from the establishment of clear teaching content and teaching objectives, the teaching stage is clarified and the traditional teaching methods are improved. In the actual teaching process, the effect is good, which verifies the feasibility of the teaching process, and provides a reference and basis for exploring the cultivation strategies of college students' independent learning and innovation ability, and improving their ability to solve multidisciplinary intersectional problems.

Key words: "Integration of science, technology and medicine", Independent learning, Innovation ability, Teaching design, Teaching mode, Teaching effect
