AIM To investigate the effectiveness of the double-teacher teaching model in the teaching of atherosclerosis pathology and to evaluate the effectiveness of this teaching method.

METHODS The five-year clinical medicine undergraduates were randomly divided into two groups. The control group (101 students) adopted the traditional single-teacher teaching mode, and the experimental group (103 students) implemented the double-teacher teaching mode. After the course, the teaching effectiveness will be evaluated through theoretical exams, practical operation exams, and questionnaire surveys.

RESULTS In the theoretical exam, the average score of the experimental group was (85 ± 4) points, significantly higher than the control group's (81.5 ± 2.5) points (P<0.05). In the practical operation exam, the average score of the experimental group was (82.7 ± 2.7) points, significantly higher than the control group's (78 ± 5) points (P<0.05); In addition, the survey results showed that the satisfaction of the experimental group students with the dual teacher teaching mode was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.01).

CONCLUSION The implementation of double teacher teaching mode in atherosclerosis pathology effectively improves students' theoretical achievements, practical operation ability and learning satisfaction, and lays a solid foundation for their flexible application of pathology knowledge in clinical work in the future.
