Objective To explore the value of practicing PBL which guided by MDT in teaching diagnoses and treatments of war wound and trauma caused by compound agents. Methods An emulational war wound case caused by compound factors had been designed and a multi-disciplinary team been organized

then totally 45 interns who would graduate in 2017 were divide into two groups randomly

experimental group which had 23 cases received PBL model combined with MDT followed “six step” procedure which included case preparation by teachers

independent analysis and group discussion by interns

problem extraction by teachers and division of solution by interns before class

then answer and debates problems by interns in class

conclusion and reports after class in the end

and control group which had 22 cases received traditional teaching model in accordance with common case discussion in class included characteristics of patient

diagnosis and diagnostic basis

examinations needed to carry out

first aid measures

professional treatments. The effect of new teaching model had been evaluated by assessment in class and questionnaire after class. The data was analyzed through Chi-square Test by SPSS22.0. Results Class assessment showed 18 (78.3%) interns in experimental group displayed good abilities of proposing

analyzing and resolving medical problem

as well as good presentation and speech skills. Questionnaire survey had not only showed clinical teaching of war wound and trauma could meet the demands of talent training in battlefield rescue

but also displayed new model could help interns to enhance abilities of first-aid and treatment of war wound on future warfield

reinforce the consciousness of military medical support and service

in addition

could clear confusion more professionally and strengthen teamwork and overall importance . Conclusion Applying PBL combined with MDT in teaching diagnoses and treatments of war wound and trauma could not only help interns to review and retain important knowledge of related subjects

but also improve the abilities of interns in clinical diagnoses and treatments

moreover

merged the medical knowledge and war wound cure together organically. In short

the new model is well worth applying in clinical teaching and military medical education because of its excellent effects.
