Abstract: Appendectomy involves several key concepts in the foundation course of operative surgery. So it is the best choice to test whether the students can be flexible in using and fully under-stand what they learned about the basic theories and skills of appendectomy. Changzheng Hospital applies Wechat-ald team-based learning and problem-based learning teaching in appendectomy-related courses by actively delivering messages with content of educational administration, basic knowledge, clinical images and videos to the micro-groups, achieving instantly efficient information dissemination and interactive communication. It breaks the shackles of traditional classroom in space and time, mo-bilizes students' enthusiasm for learning, enhances their communicational skills and sense of team-work and improves students' comprehensive analysis and practical ability, therefore achieving better teaching results.
