AIM  To apply informatization technology in the teaching of clinical pathology.

  METHODS  Sixty medical students of 2017 Grade in Air Force Medical University were selected and randomly divided into observation group and control group. Traditional teaching method was used in control group, while informatization technology was used in the teaching of cardiovascular-related experiments, including 360-degree scanning of gross specimens and digital electronic sections in observation group. After the course, the teaching effects of the two groups were evaluated by experiment results and questionnaire survey.

  Results  Students in observation group were doing significantly better in terms of experimental operation time and experimental success rate than the students in control group. The questionnaire survey results demonstrated that the students in observation group had higher subjective learning initiative.

  CONCLUSION  Through effective informatization technology, the students’ enthusiasm to study pathology is obviously improved, which lays a solid foundation for the future study of clinical subjects.
