Application of flipped classroom and PACS system in radiology education / 中华医学教育探索杂志

ABSTRACT

Main problems for radiology teaching have always been less lectures and weaker imaging knowledge and lower interest of students in traditional Chinese medicine universities.Though "flipped classroom" has become the focus of education reform,and PACS system has become a platform in imaging diagnosis,it is rare to combine the two methods in radiology teaching.This paper mainly introduces features of flipped classroom and PACS system,analyzes the feasibility of combing the two teaching methods,and puts forward the teaching conception.Procedures are as follows.Before class,teachers design teaching objective,prepare teaching material and make the list;students study before class in different groups.During class,students exchange their ideas,start inter-group discussion and use the PACS system for case studies;teachers instruct the key and difficult point.After class,the comprehensive evaluation is conducted.The combining teaching hopes to promote students' learning interest,improve their learning effectiveness,cultivate their self-study ability and broaden their clinical minds.At the same time,this method also can provide experience for radiological teaching reform.
