Whole disease procedure observation combined with case introduction teaching method and problem-based learning teaching methods for 8-year medical education program interns in pediatrics clerkship

Clinical inter-class practice is a bridge connecting medical theory with practice. Disease occured in children has many clinical characters which is different from adult disease, such as acute onset, rapid progress, and shorter course. In order to improve the quality of medical training for 8- year clinical medical students, medical case introduction teaching method was modified in pediatric inter- class practice in Peking University First Hospital. Typical medical cases of in-patients were selected, while problem-based learning method was applied in whole disease procedure observation. Whole course observation is useful to improve the initiative of medical students.
