Abstract:
Developing the clinical thinking ability and therefore improving the clinical practice ca-pacity are the core of the quality-oriented education and in the current medical education reforms. The rea-sons for retarding the development of clinical thinking ability in dental clinical probation were herein dis-cussed. According to the similarity between mind mapping and clinical thinking, drawing mind map was used in the creation of the clinical knowledge system; various teaching techniques were used and classical clinical cases were shown; role playing as dentist and patient was used to mimic the clinical circumstance;dentist-patient communication was emphasized and methods to evaluate the clinical thinking ability were also developed. These strategies effectively developed the clinical thinking ability of the dental students.
