Abstract: Objective To explore the application value of case-based learning combined with operation observation in standardized training of resident physicians in pain department. Methods A total of 50 residents who received standardized training in the Department of Intervention and Pain, First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui University of Traditional Chinese Medicine From April 2022 to November 2022, they were selected and randomly divided into a control group and an experimental group with 25 people in each group. The control group used traditional teaching methods, while the experimental group adopted the teaching method of case-based learning combined with surgical observation teaching method. After the teaching,the differences in teaching effects were analyzed through theoretical written tests, recognition surveys, and overall satisfaction with teaching methods. Results The theoretical written test scores of the experimental group and the control group were (83.84±4.53) points and (76.28±4.59) points, and the experimental group was higher than the control group (P<0.05). The recognition of teaching mode (stimulating clinical learning interest, improving self-learning efficiency, enhancing clinical thinking ability, promoting theoretical knowledge mastery and willingness to accept this teaching mode) and overall satisfaction with teaching methods were compared in the experimental group, with a higher proportion than the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion The teaching mode of case-based learning combined with surgical observation has obvious advantages in the standardized training and teaching process of pain resident physicians, which can significantly improve the clinical teaching effect and is well received by trainees.
