The result of the questionnaire show that students respond well to online education and have high enthusiasm, especially female medical students who have higher expectations for online courses. The 5G network can present high-definition image quality, improve voice clarity, and make real-time interaction more appealing. However, in terms of observation indicators concerning the evaluation of competence-oriented capacity, most medical students are more inclined to use the blended teaching model based on 5G network that combined TBL and online interaction. That indicates online learning based on 5G network can better improve students' enthusiasm and sense of participation. We can try to diversify the form of online education to enhance the students' learning experience. In particular, the model of flipped classroom can be adopted. Students in this model are encouraged to study independently through high-quality MOOCs and literature before class, and TBL can be carried out on social platforms such as online WeChat group or QQ group to cultivate students' teamwork spirit. After that, teachers summarize the class by integrating knowledge of medical humanity, public health and social economics to improve students' professionalism and analyzing the problems or questions raised by the students in the form of online live broadcast supported by 5G network to achieve a good learning experience.
