Abstract: The clinical teaching of geriatrics is difficult to arouse the students' interest. The flipped classroom teaching method can improve it through the interaction. We used WeChat as a platform for flipped classes and designed a variety of micro lessons. The participation and study interests of students were obvi-ously increased through exchanging teaching, answering questions and discussing. The teaching efficiency was also improved after strengthening practice. The preliminary practice shows that this teaching method can provide students a virtual teaching platform. It not only can enhance the teaching effect, but also can share teaching resources in network even for the long-term cross hospital and cross school exchange promotion.
