AIM To explore the application effect of formative assessment based on case report model in the final examination for interns in cardiovascular medicine.
METHODS A total of 84 five-year medical students majoring in clinical medicine and aerospace medicine were divided into two groups. The control group (42 cases) was assessed by traditional method, while the experimental group (42 cases) was assessed by case report mode.
RESULTS The examination results in experimental group were significantly better than those in control group (P<0.01). The performance of lecture practice, the in-class learning results of case discussion and after-class review rate in experimental group were higher than those in control group (P<0.05), and no statistical difference was found in in-class learning results of teaching ward-round between the two groups. Compared with the traditional method, the case report could better exercise the ability of analyzing clinical problems, strengthen the ability of differential diagnosis of diseases and deepen the understanding of theoretical knowledge.
CONCLUSION The formative assessment based on case report model can improve the assessment results of interns, help to stimulate the learning initiative of interns and better cultivate students’ clinical thinking and understanding ability of knowledge. It is an interns assessment that can be popularized.
