Teaching mode exploration for eight-year program interns in the out-patient department of general internal / 中华医学教育探索杂志

ABSTRACT

Clinical practice teaching in out-patient department is an important part of general internal clinical teaching for medical students. From 2010, eight-year program medical students in Huazhong University of Science and Technology began their clinical rotation practice in the out-patient department of general internal medicine. The one-on-one tutoring style was used in clinical teaching. We combined teacher demonstration teaching method with teacher supervision teaching method in clinical practice, and carried out periodical case discussion. At the end of each rotation stage, regular teaching evaluation and examination was taken. It has been proved that our teaching mode can not only help the students improve their professional and practical levels of clinical skills, and also help them gain the clinical working abilities and the professional spirits, which is worthy of further promotion.
