Abstract:
Objective To explore the value of applying personalized medicine in the clinical teaching of gastrointestinal surgery. Methods Totally 100 undergraduates in grade 2008 were ran-domly assigned to experimental class (EC) and control class (CC), with 50 cases in each group. The experimental class accepted personalized medical teaching through introducing idea and method of personalized medicine. The control class accepted conventional teaching. The effect of teaching was evaluated by questionnaire survey and examination. The data were analyzed through t-test and Chi-square test. Results Questionnaire survey of satisfaction showed that 88 students (88%) were inter-ested in the new course, 91 students (91%) thought that the new mode of teaching was better than the old one. Questionnaire survey of teaching effect showed that in EC:44 students (88%) thought that the new course could increase interests of clinical question;43 students (86%) thought that the new course could optimize the process of diagnosis and treatment of gastric cancer;40 students (80%) thought that the new course could strengthen the communication between doctors and patients; 42 students (84%) thought that the new course could widen the minds in diagnosis and treatment;45 students (90%) thought that the new course could enhance the ability of dialectical thinking;while in CC, the proportions of the above issues were 24(48%), 23(46%), 26(52%), 25(50%) and 26(52%) (all P<0.05). Furthermore, there were statistical difference in auerage scores bertween EC and CC [(86.26 ±5.72) vs. (77.00 ±6.16)] (P=0.000). Conclusions Personalized medicine is suc cessfully practiced in the teaching course of gastric cancer, which not only meets the requirement of personal-ized medicine, but also guides the reformation of clinical teaching to certain extent.
