Application and thinking of PBL combined with CBL teaching modes in resident standardization training of dentists

Abstract

Resident standardization training of dentists is a very important program for the dental students, during which they are trained to be capable of analyzing cases logically and carrying out the treatment suitably. The students who study in this period always have a certain level of basic knowledge and with the full passion for clinical practice, so it's important for them to develop the correct clinical thinking method and form a lifelong learning habit. However, the traditional teaching models can't catch up with today's more and more divergent and complicated demands of teaching and learning. The new oriented teaching models of PBL and CBL may offer us new ways to carry out the resident standardization training more efficiently, simulate the student's passion of learning and gain wider experience in short time, for their student-centered and clinical cases-guided characteristics.
