Abstract: Objective To explore the effect of applying case-based teaching method combined with flipped classroom in the standardized training of urology residents. Methods A total of 120 urology residents who underwent standardized training in the Department of Urology,the Second Affiliated Hospital of Shandong Second Medical University from January 2022 to December 2023 were selected and randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group,with 60 residents in each group.The experimental group adopted case-based teaching method combined with flipped classroom model for urology resident training, while the control group used traditional training methods.Theory test results, clinical operation skills assessment results (DOPS scores) and teaching satisfaction results were compared between the two groups. Results The theoretical examination scores of the experimental group were (87.20±5.80) points, higher than (79.50±7.10) points of the control group,with a statistically significant difference (P<0.05).The DOPS scores of the experimental group were (92.00±4.50) points, higher than (83.60±6.50) points of the control group, with a statistically significant difference (P<0.05).The overall satisfaction of the experimental group than the control group was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Applying case-based teaching method combined with flipped classroom in the standardized training of urology residents can significantly improve the theoretical knowledge and clinical operation skills of residents, enhance their learning interest and satisfaction.
