Abstract: Internship is an important stage in which medical students utilize and develop their aca-demic theory to inform clinical practice. In this stage, practical teaching combining the theoretical study with clinical practice to refine interns' clinical skills is the only way to train qualified clinicians. The teach-ing during orthopaedic internship is facing the following problems, such as complex anatomy and difficult learning curve associated with orthopaedic clinical practice. In addition, interns face the employment pres-sure, and the clinical practice time may be occupied by job hunting or preparation for postgraduate entrance examination. For teachers, since clinical doctors are tired of clinical work and scientific research, they can-not devote more time and energy to teaching. In this study, the author summarizes the problems of orthopedic practice teaching in recent years and presents a series of solutions, such as standardizing clinical thinking, improving the students' clinical participation, standardizing teaching assessment and so on, which have improved the teaching quality of orthopedic clinical practice.
