Effectiveness of Problem-Based Learning and Case-Based Learning Teaching Methodology in Vascular Surgery Internship

摘要

Objective: To investigate the practical effect of problem-based learning (PBL) combined with case-based learning (CBL) teaching method used in the teaching of vascular surgery internship. Methods: 60 clinical medical graduates who interned in vascular surgery in our hospital from June 2022 to June 2023 were divided into the control group and the observation group of 30 each by applying the random number division method. The control group adopted the traditional lecture mode, and the observation group adopted the comprehensive teaching mode of PBL + CBL teaching method. The indicators of students’ job competence and teaching satisfaction scores in the two groups were compared. Results: The scores of students’ job competence in basic theoretical knowledge of vascular surgery, basic operation, clinical analysis, medical records writing, etc. in the observation group were higher than those in the control group, and the scores of satisfaction with teaching method were higher than those in the control group, with statistically significant differences (P < 0.01). Conclusion: PBL + CBL teaching method used in vascular surgery internship teaching is effective and can significantly improve the students’ basic theoretical knowledge and clinical practice skills, with a high satisfaction rating, thus it is worthwhile to promote the application in the field of clinical teaching.
