There has been a fundamental change in health care pedagogy to address the demands and challenges posed by the present generation of millennial students. There is also a growing recognition of the role of intrinsic motivation as a catalyst in a positive learning experience. The term intrinsic motivation refers to energizing behavior that comes from within an individual and develops due to an inherent interest in the activity at hand. However, stimulating intrinsic motivation in the present generation of millennial health care students is a daunting task, considering their diverse and disparate nature. In addition, the inherent generational differences between educators and students, and an increasing emphasis on technological tools have resulted in a dichotomy in the educational environment leading to the development of a greater incidence of burnouts among students. Hence, numerous innovative techniques have been introduced in health care education to enhance the levels of intrinsic motivation in these students. Unfortunately, most of these approaches have only been moderately successful due to their limited ability to address the unique educational expectations of millennial students. The cumulative evidence suggests that specific approaches to stimulate intrinsic motivation should aim at nurturing the learning efforts of students, bridging the generational barriers between educators and students, and ameliorating the stress associated with health care education. Hence, the specific aim of this narrative review is to suggest empirically proven curricular strategies and institutional reforms to enhance intrinsic motivation in health care students belonging to the Millennial Generation.

激发千禧一代学生的内在动机：新一代，新方法。

卫生保健教学法已经发生了根本变化，以解决当代千禧一代学生提出的要求和挑战。人们也越来越认识到内在动机在积极学习经验中作为催化剂的作用。内在动机一词指的是激发来自个体内部的行为，并且由于对内在活动的内在兴趣而发展。然而，考虑到他们千差万别的天性，激发他们这一代千禧年卫生保健学生的内在动力是一项艰巨的任务。此外，教育者与学生之间固有的代际差异，随着对技术工具的日益重视，教育环境出现了二分法，导致学生倦怠的发生率增加。因此，在保健教育中引入了许多创新技术，以提高这些学生的内在动机水平。不幸的是，由于这些方法不能满足千禧一代学生的独特教育期望，因此大多数方法仅取得了一定程度的成功。累积的证据表明，激发内在动机的特定方法应旨在培养学生的学习努力，弥合教育者和学生之间的世代障碍，并减轻与保健教育有关的压力。因此，
