ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the preliminary practice of Clinical Scenario Mode in the teaching of surgery. Methods Clinical Scenario Mode was stimulated or rebuilt by the cooperation of teachers and Standardized Patients (SP) to introduce relative theories and raise discussions in the surgery lectures of five-year clinical medicine students in grade 2004 and grade 2005. Results Lectures with the application of Clinical Scenario Mode were reported positively by students from the survey. It improved students’learning motivation,enhanced teaching quality,and optimized the allocation of resources. Discussion With the combination of the advantages of lecture based learning (LBL) and problem based learning (PBL),Clinical Scenario Mode can be considered as the linkage to the widespread use of PBL,and should be widely applied in the medical teaching practice.
