Application of clinical pathway teaching method in standardized training of general practitioners in gastroenterology / 中华医学教育探索杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of clinical pathway teaching method in standardized training of general practitioners in gastroenterology.Methods:From 2018 to 2019, 40 residents who participated in the standardized training of general practitioners in the Department of Gastroenterology, Zhongshan Hospital Qingpu Branch, Fudan University Medical College were randomized into the experimental group and the control group. The residents of the experimental group were trained by clinical pathway teaching method, while the control group were trained by traditional methods. After 6 weeks' teaching, theoretical examination, operation skills and case analysis test were assessed and satisfaction surveys were conducted.Results:The operation skills and case analysis scores of the experimental group were significantly better than those of the control group [operation test (91.50±2.77) vs. (89.80±3.74), P<0.01; case analysis (92.10±1.98) vs. (86.40±2.87), P<0.01]. The teaching satisfaction of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.01). Conclusion:The teaching model of clinical pathway can improve the teaching quality of the residents in the department of gastroenterology, improve the satisfaction of the doctors in the training, and broaden clinical thinking, which is worthy of promotion in clinical teaching.
