The theory examination and satisfaction survey were conducted to assess the effects two teaching methods, and t-test was performed for data analysis using SPSS 15.0. Results:No significant difference was found in the average score of examination ( P>0.05), but the examination group showed a higher average score in the clinical case analysis than the control group ( P<0.05).
