ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the clinical teaching effect of case-based learning combined with diagnosis and treatment guidelines in standardized residency training in the department of rheumatology and immunology.Methods:Forty standardized trainees were randomized into two groups. One was the observation group, which adopted case-based learning combined with diagnosis and treatment guidelines. The other one was the control group, which performed the traditional clinical teaching mode. After 4 weeks, the assessment and satisfaction evaluation were carried out among the two groups. SPSS 19.0 was used for t test and Mann-Whitney test. Results:Students in observation group showed significantly better ability of physical examination and case analysis than those in the control group. The satisfaction degree of the students in the observation group was significantly higher in terms of diagnosis and treatment standard, clinical thinking, problem solving ability, self-learning ability and personal profession benefits than that in the control group.Conclusion:Case-based learning with diagnosis and treatment guidelines is an ideal teaching method combining theory with practice perfectly, which can significantly improve the effect of clinical teaching of standardized residency training in the department of rheumatology and immunology.
