Teaching method design of PBL combined with CBL.

As medical education evolves, Problem-Based Learning (PBL) and Case-Based Learning (CBL) methodologies have emerged as vital pedagogical tools. This study aims to delve into the application and effectiveness of a hybrid PBL-CBL approach in clinical teaching for vascular surgery. By conducting a comparative analysis through concrete teaching practices, this research evaluates the impact on students’ clinical knowledge retention, advancement in clinical reasoning skills, and proficiency in resolving real-world clinical challenges. The findings reveal that the integrated PBL-CBL methodology substantially enhances learning outcomes in vascular surgery clinical teaching, ultimately fostering significant development in students’ comprehensive clinical abilities.
