Application of PCMC teaching mode combined with multimedia courseware in dermatology and venerology teaching
Abstract：Objective To explore a new way to improve the clinical ability of medical students by administrating the problem-originated clinical medical curriculum (PCMC) mode in combination with multimedia courseware in dermatology and venerology teaching. Methods Four classes in grade 2012, including 108 undergraduates of clinical medicine, were randomly selected and assigned in a 1:1 ratio into two groups which received PCMC teaching mode in combination with multimedia courseware or traditional mode, and both of the two groups were educated by the same teachers. At the end of the courses, tests of clinical abilities and theory were taken to evaluate the improvement of the students. Questionnaires were also used to investigate the students' acceptance of the two teaching modes. Results In the PCMC teaching group, the average score of clinical ability test was 91.9 points, significantly higher than 78.7 points of the traditional group(P<0.05), whereas, there was no significant difference of the theory test between the 2 groups. Student satisfaction survey results showed that the PCMC group(82.7%) was higher than that of the traditional group(75%) with no significant difference(P>0.05). Conclusion Application of PCMC teaching mode in combination with multimedia courseware is conducive to students' understand of the abstract theory knowledge in dermatology teaching process, and may fully mobilize the students' learning initiative.
