Application of microlecture in clinical practice teaching of cardiovascular internal medicine

Abstract

Objective To investigate the application of microlecture in clinical practice teaching of cardiovascular internal medicine. Methods A total of 98 students who received practice teaching in Department of Cardiology, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi’an Jiaotong University, from January to September, 2016, were randomly divided into control group and observation group. The students in the control group received traditional practice teaching, and those in the observation group received microlecture combined with the traditional practice teaching. The two groups were compared in terms of the scores of theoretical and skill examinations, and the degree of satisfaction with practice teaching was surveyed. Results The observation group had a significantly higher score of clinical skill examination than the control group (P<0.05). The observation group had a significantly higher degree of satisfaction with the teaching methods of cardiovascular internal medicine than the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion The introduction of microlecture into the clinical practice teaching of cardiovascular internal medicine can significantly enhance students' mastery of clinical operation skills and improve their satisfaction with practice teaching of cardiovascular internal medicine.
