ABSTRACT
Epidemiology is a traditional subject mainly based on principles and concepts,and its teaching method needs further improving to meet the requirement of the new trend of education reform.Lecture-based teaching,problem-based teaching,case-based teaching,and intemet based teaching,such as flip class,massive open online course and micro-lecture,all have its own unique merits in the practice of epidemiology teaching.So the combination of traditional teaching and online teaching is the most promising mode."Rain class",a mixed mode,is an efficient tool to present the epidemiology case more actually in class.Thus,teaching design and application of "rain class" are worth research.
