As the key phase for medical students to be doctors

clinical internship plays a vital role in the whole medical education process. Interns in the department of gastrointestinal surgery face series of difficulties

such as wide variety of diseases and emergence of new technology and new concepts. In addition

because of the uneven levels of teachers and low enthusiasm of interns

the result of clinical practice teaching is not satisfactory. Based on the above-mentioned problems

measures have been introduced during the process of clinical practice teaching

including selection of typical diseases and surgical procedures

construction of clinical practice teaching team

adoption of pluralistic teaching methods

reinforcement of participation of interns during the clinical practice. Finally

the quality of teaching in our department has been improved significantly.
