Abstract:

The integrative case study model was established by designing the clinical content related to parasitology teaching and integrating morphology content specified in the syllabus in order to improve the teaching quality of human parasitology. This newly designed integrative case study was applied to the teaching of human parasitology in class of grade 2013 of clinical medicine at Peking Union Medical College. The effectiveness of this teaching model was evaluated by questionnaire. Twenty-two parasitic infection case studies were prepared, covering 50 parasite specimens specified in the syllabus of human parasitology. After using Fasciolopsis buski infection as a teaching demonstration, according to the evaluation results of students’ feedback, the integrative case study teaching mode better integrates the basic medicine and clinical knowledge, boosts students’ interest and motivative in parasitology study and improves their ability to analyze and solve related problems.
