Exploration on"3+N"problem-driven case-based teaching mode in the course of pathophysiology
Pathophysiology,a bridge course connecting basic medicine and clinical medicine,facilitates students'transition from basic medicine to clinical medicine,laying a solid foundation for the learning of subsequent clinical courses.In the teaching of patho-physiology,the authors identified problems of inadequate internalization of foundational knowledge and weak clinical logical thinking skills in the students,and then they explored a new teaching mode of"3+N(Three stages of pre-class,in class,and after class+diversified teaching methods)",which is problem-driven and case-based.This teaching mode starts with fundamental questions,ex-pansive questions,and innovative questions,and the teachers used various cases to foster clinical thinking abilities in the students.The article elaborates on specific implementation strategies and discusses teaching effects.The authors conclude that this teaching mode achieves the goals of optimizing teaching content,improving teaching methods,and refining the teaching system;it can also promote the course construction of pathophysiology and cultivate high-quality medical talents with clinical thinking abilities.
