ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the teaching reform of internal medicine graduate students based on the concept of outcomes-based education (OBE).Methods:A total of 86 graduate students who studied in the Teaching and Research Section of Internal Medicine in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from January 2019 to August 2020 were randomly divided into control group ( n=43) and observation group ( n=43). The control group adopted traditional teaching, and the observation group adopted the teaching based on the OBE concept. The evaluation of the academic performance of the two groups of graduate students and the recognition of the teaching mode by the graduate students were compared, and the improvement of the personal ability of the graduate students was evaluated. Meanwhile, the effect of teaching satisfaction and the improvement of learning ability of the graduate students was evaluated. SPSS 22.0 was used for t-test and Chi-square test. Results:The theoretical scores, general head and neck test scores, heart test scores, lung test scores, abdominal test scores, spinal and limb nervous system test scores, operation scores and total scores of graduate students in the observation group were higher than those in the control group ( P<0.05); students in the observation group believed that the teaching could improve their learning interest, improve the self-learning ability, improve communication and expression ability, improve teamwork ability, improve understanding and memory ability, improve internal medicine thinking ability, improve generalization ability, and improve clinical practice ability. All the above aspects were higher in observation group than control group ( P<0.05); the students in the observation group had 97.67% (42/43) recognition of teaching, which was higher than 83.72% (36/43) in the control group. Conclusion:Internal medicine teaching based on the concept of OBE can improve the academic performance and enhance the personal ability of graduate students, and the students are more satisfied with this teaching method.
