Features: The path of medical philosophy towards the future requires highlighting the academic characteristics of its reflective and critical application research, actively leveraging the functions of applied philosophy. Medical philosophy should focus on social issues, revitalizing its academic vitality, revealing the essential connotations hidden within medical phenomena, reflecting on the perceptual experiences and ways of thinking in medicine, and critiquing discourses and behaviors that deviate from medical humanities. Medical philosophy should engage with research and clinical practice, enhancing its affinity with medicine, and conducting research on medical thinking methods and metaphysical universal issues in medicine from new concepts, methods, and perspectives. This will allow medical philosophy to emerge and develop within medicine. Medical philosophy should be rooted in medical education, promoting the transformation of medical education models and concepts, contributing the wisdom and dedication of medical philosophy to the future of medicine, and cultivating new generations of medical professionals who are well-rounded talents with scientific thinking methods, medical humanities care abilities, medical humanities spirit, and medical professional knowledge.
