ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the application effect of case-based learning (CBL) in clinical practice teaching of cardiothoracic surgery.Methods:A total of 86 interns who rotated in our department from February to November 2019 were randomized into observation group ( n = 43) and control group ( n = 43) by drawing lots. The control group used traditional teaching method, and the observation group used CBL teaching method. The differences between the two groups in professional theoretical performance, clinical skill achievement and teaching satisfaction were compared. Results:The professional theoretical scores, clinical skills scores, and teaching satisfaction of the observation group were better than those of the control group, with statistical differences ( P < 0.05). Conclusion:The CBL teaching method can effectively help interns master professional theoretical knowledge and clinical practice skills of cardiothoracic surgery, which has obtained satisfactory teaching results and is worthy of promotion.
