The model centres on virtue-oriented talent cultivation and comprises value and philosophy, organisational structure, data platform, and operational mechanism; the theoretical, practical, and safeguarding logics explain how digital-intelligent technologies can couple teaching and management into an evidence-based governance loop. The synthesis is methodologically explicit: it draws on a targeted search of PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and policy repositories (2014\u20132026), applies inclusion criteria focused on digital governance and medical education, and retains approximately 30 anchor works.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>By treating teaching and management as one governance system, TMIG offers a conceptually grounded path towards the integrated, intelligent, and internationalised digital-education agenda. The analysis is a conceptual synthesis of published work and contains no primary empirical data; the framework is offered as a foundation for later empirical and evaluative research.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fmed.2026.1952099","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,23]],"date-time":"2026-09-23T04:53:45Z","timestamp":1790139225000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A one-core, four-dimension framework for teaching\u2013management integrated governance in medical universities"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Wenbin","family":"Tan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Basic Medical Sciences, Jining Medical University","place":["Jining, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","volume-title":"OECD Digital education Outlook 2021: Pushing the Frontiers with Artificial intelligence, Blockchain and Robots","year":"2021"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"652","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1467-9248.1996.tb01747.x","article-title":"The new governance: governing without government","volume":"44","author":"Rhodes","year":"1996","journal-title":"Polit Stud"},{"key":"B3","volume-title":"Governance, Politics and the State","author":"Pierre","year":"2000"},{"key":"B4","volume-title":"Guidance for Generative AI in Education and Research","year":"2023"},{"key":"B5","volume-title":"Global Strategy on Digital health 2020-2025 (extended to 2027)","year":"2020"},{"key":"B6","volume-title":"Global Standards for Quality improvement of Basic medical Education (2020 Revision)","year":"2020"},{"key":"B7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"446","DOI":"10.1080\/0142159X.2024.2314198","article-title":"A scoping review of artificial intelligence in medical education.
