Objective　To explore and optimize the teaching content of clinical case discussion course based on clinical pathophysiology and therapy (CPPT)

and to improve the teaching quality of this course. Methods　Self-compiled evaluation form was sent to all the students who participated in this course in 2016-2017 school year

and the teaching satisfaction and teaching characteristics were evaluated. The differences of evaluation results from students with different educational programs or teachers with different seniority were compared

and the correlation between evaluation results and teachers' seniority was analyzed. Results　The students had a high evaluation on the course

but students from different programs had significant different comments on thinking inspiring

speech encouraging

questions guiding

process holding and effective feedback

as well as the self-evaluation of mastery degree. For teachers with different seniority

there were significant differences in scores in all aspects except speech encouraging

but no differences in mastery degree. Spearman analysis showed that there was a certain correlation between scores and teachers' seniority. Conclusion　The overall situation of the CPPT case discussion course in our school is worthy of recognition

but it needs to be improved in many aspects.
