Application of PBL-EBM Teaching Method in Standardized Training of Orthopedic Residents
Objective To investigate the use of a PBL-EBM(problem-based learning,evidence-based medicine)teaching method in clinical teaching for standardized training of orthopedic residents.Methods Doctors who underwent standardized training for orthopedic residents at the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University from January 2022 to January 2023 were randomly assigned to a control group and an experimental group.The experimental group consisting of 57 participants(51 males and 6 females),used PBL-EBM teaching method,while the control group,comprising 56 participants(50 males and 6 females),used traditional teaching method.Both groups were evaluated for their departmental performance and teaching effectiveness upon completion of the teaching.Results The experimental group and the control group showed significant statistical differences(P<0.001)in the following areas:departmental evaluation scores[experimental group(92.5±0.22)points vs.control group(87.6±0.38)points],improved ability to retrieve medical literature and analyze data[(experimental group(93.5±0.20)points vs.control group(90.0±0.28)points],improved ability to analyze clinical problems[experimental group(93.6±0.18)points vs.control group(89.6±0.25)points],improved ability to solve clinical problems[experimental group(93.4±0.25)points vs.control group(89.1±0.21)points],and improved ability to communicate professional terminology[experimental group(92.6±0.27)points vs.control group(89.3±0.23)points.In terms of improving learning initiative and enthusiasm[experimental group(92.4±0.40)points vs.control group(93.0±0.45)points]and enhancing clinical operation ability[experimental group(92.4±0.32)points vs.control group(92.7±0.37)points],there was no significant difference between the two groups(P>0.05).PBL-EBM teaching methods were more effective than traditional teaching methods in improving comprehensive analysis and problem-solving abilities of orthopedic residents undergoing standardized training,as well as in facilitating the ability to retrieve literature and analyze evidence in evidence-based medicine.Conclusion Using PBL-EBM teaching method in clinical teaching for standardized training of orthopedic residents is not only feasible but also beneficial for residents to actively retrieve literature,analyze the latest research results and evidence of literature,and apply them to clinical practice to develop the best treatment plan.
