Abstract: Objective To examine the efficacy of applying clinical pathway (CP) teaching model in orthopedics clinical teaching.Methods Totally 64 medical undergraduates were randomized into 2 groups.The traditional teaching method and CP model were separately preformed on them.Their scores of theoretical,manipulation and case analysis exams at the end of internship were compared.Meanwhile the questionnaire of satisfaction degree also was conducted.Results Scores of exams and satisfaction degree were better in CP group than in classical group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The novel CP model can promote the standardization and systematization of clinical teaching in orthopedics.It is conducive to evaluating teaching effect and performing teaching reform.Meanwhile,it is in accordance with the problem-based learning and can improve clinical teaching effect and satisfaction degree.
