Abstract: In this study, according to the concept of outcome-based education, it proposed a progressive reform strategy focusing on learning ability, practical skills, and engineering thinking at three levels: theoretical learning, technological application, and interdisciplinary application, along with implementation and evaluation methods. The aim of this strategy was to progressively cultivate students’ ability to use the bioinformatics techniques theoretically, flexibly and systematically. The reform measures proposed in this study were expected to strengthen the cultivation and output of the professionals with diverse backgrounds and industry demands, facilitating the narrowing of the gap between the student cultivation in colleges and universities and the requirements of the bio-pharmaceutical industries.

Key words: bioinformatics, outcome-based education, course construction, cultivation of professionals, reform measures
