AIM The study aims to analyze the effect of the combined case-based learning (CBL) teaching combined multi-disciplinary team (MDT) teaching method in teaching of geriatric cardiology.
METHODS 42 medical undergraduates from the Air Force Medical University were randomized into the traditional teaching group (n=21) or the CBL combined MDT group (n=21). At the end of teaching, the students received the theoretical test and the test scores were compared between the two groups. The satisfaction scores of these two groups were also evaluated via the questionnaire investigation.
RESULTS Compared with the traditional teaching group, the CBL combined MDT group acquired higher scores in the theoretical test (P<0.05). The questionnaire investigation showed that the satisfaction scores were also higher in the CBL combined MDT group than that in the traditional teaching group (all P<0.05).
CONCLUSION In geriatric cardiology teaching, the CBL combined MDT teaching method significantly improves the teaching efficacy and the students’ satisfaction.
