Application of PBL Combined with Clinical Pathological Conference Teaching Model in the Renal Pathology Teaching for Resident Physicians
Objectives To investigate the application effect of PBL combined with clinical pathological conference teaching method in renal pathology teaching for resident physicians,so as to further improve the quality of teaching.Methods A total of 53 resident physicians who were trained in the department of nephrology of a hospital from January 1st,2022 to March 31st,2023 were selected as the subjects of study.They were divided into the PBL teaching group(n=21)and PBL combined with clinical pathological conference teaching group(n=32)according to the different models of renal pathology teaching.After training,theoretical examination results,resident physicians'satisfaction survey,and self-evaluation scores,which included the degree of mastering renal pathology,the ability of interpreting renal pathology reports,clinical application ability,physician-patient communication ability and learning interest,were used to evaluate the teaching effects of the two groups.Results The theoretical examination results of the PBL combined with clinical pathological conference group were significantly higher than those of the PBL group[(87.8±2.1]vs.(83.1±2.0),P<0.05].The PBL combined with clinical pathological conference group scored higher than the PBL group in the five aspects of self-evaluation including the degree of mastering renal pathology(7.38±0.94),the ability of interpreting renal pathology reports(7.47±1.02),clinical application ability(7.88±0.66),physician-patient communication ability(8.06±0.56),and learning interest(7.94±0.80).The differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The overall satisfaction rate of the PBL combined with clinical pathological conference teaching group was 100.0%,with the"very satisfied"proportion significantly higher than that of the PBL teaching group(90.6%vs.61.9%,P<0.05).Conclusions PBL combined with clinical pathological conference teaching method could improve the quality of renal pathology teaching and was worth popularizing.
