Application of virtual diagnosis and treatment combined with medical record teaching method in standardized training of general practitioner.

ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to explore the effect of virtual diagnosis and treatment combined with the medical record teaching method in standardized training of general practitioners. Eighty students who had standardized general practice training, from March 2020 to March 2022, in the grassroots practice base of general practitioner training in the affiliated Hospital of our Medical College were retrospectively analyzed and divided into 2 groups according to the teaching method that they received. The differences in assessment scores, critical thinking, clinical thinking ability, learning autonomy ability, and classroom teaching effectiveness were compared, and the students' satisfaction with teaching was investigated. The scores of theoretical knowledge, skill operation, medical history collection, and case analysis in the study group were notably higher (P < .05). In the study group, scores in truth-seeking, openness to knowledge, analytical ability, systematic ability, self-confidence, curiosity, and cognitive maturity were significantly higher (P < .05). A notable improvement was observed in the study group's scores on systematic thinking ability and evidence-based thinking ability, as well as the scores on critical thinking ability after teaching (P < .05). The scores of learning interest, self-management, plan implementation, and cooperation ability improved notably after teaching (P < .05). Learning target, learning processes, learning effects, classroom environment construction, teaching strategy, and technology application in the study group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P < .05). The satisfaction rate in the study group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P < .05). Virtual diagnosis and treatment combined with case-based learning teaching has a very good effect in the standardized training of general practitioners. Students are generally satisfied with their learning experience, which can improve their critical thinking ability and clinical thinking skills. This teaching method is worth further popularizing.
