Objective To evaluate the application of scenario-based training and medical simulator in the orthopedics education. Methods A total of 60 students from Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine who finished their orthopedics internship from 2016.1-2016.7 were involved. They were randomly divided into the study group and control group with 30 students each. The study group received scenario-based training and medical simulator assisted education while the control group received traditional education. Surveys were conducted after the internship and the scores of internship were also recorded. Result The overall satisfaction was higher in the study group than the control group(8.6±0.6vs8.1±0.5
P<0.05). On the part of learning interest
clinical thinking
clinical practice and group working
the study group also received better evaluation(P<0.05). The study group achieved better scores in the final examination than the control group(84.4±2.6vs82.5±3.4
P<0.05).Conclusion The combination of scenario-based training and medical simulator can improve the ability of medical students in the orthopedics education
