The methods of literature review, interview and mathematical statistics, etc. are adopted to study the status quo and problems of PE healthcare courses in four private universities: Anhui Xinhua University, Anhui Sanlian University, Anhui Wenda Unitversity of Information Engineering and Anhui International Studies University. After the eight aspects of course running situations, teaching objectives, teaching materials, organizational forms, teaching methods, teaching staff, venue and equipment, and course performance evaluations are investigated and analyzed, we conclude that there are deficiencies in course book development; the formulation of teaching objectives needs to be improved; the supply and demand of teaching materials is imbalanced and not very applicable; the teaching process is not well understood; the teaching organization and teaching methods are random; the teaching staff could meet the basic teaching needs, but there is an obvious lack of venues and equipment; the course performance evaluation is not reasonable and the differential evaluation is not obvious. To these problems we propose specific solutions so that the teaching results and curriculum reform of healthcare courses in private universities of Anhui Province can be improved.
