Objective

2

To investigate the effects of the "TECK" (theoretical class

experimental course

case discussion

and knowledge reinforcement) teaching model oriented by post competency in clinical pathology internship teaching.

Methods

2

The intern students from 2015 to 2019 in the pathology direction of clinical medicine in the School of Pathology

Qiqihar Medical College

who were enrolled in the internship from 2019 to 2023

were selected as the research objects.We enrolled 32 medical students from grades 2017

2018

and 2019 (research group) and 24 medical students from grades 2015 and 2016 (control group) who would participate in pathology internships. The control group adopted the traditional internship mode

while the research group adopted the competency-oriented "TECK" teaching mode. After the internship

the two groups were compared for internship assessment score and surveyed for post competency. With the use of SPSS 18.0 statistical software. Continuous data were presented as (mean±standard deviation) and

t

-test was used for comparison between groups. Count data were expressed in the number of cases

and chi-square test was used for comparison between groups.The significance level

α

was 0.05.

Results

2

The research group showed significantly higher scores of skill assessment (82.81±4.20 vs. 79.58±5.09) and pathological diagnosis assessment (80.28±4.23 vs. 76.21±4.58) than the control group (both

P

<

0.05)

with no significant difference in the score of theoretical knowledge (

P

>

0.05). In terms of post competency

the research group was superior to the control group in clinical skills and medical care ability (12.38±0.94 vs. 11.35±0.76)

disease prevention

and health promotion ability (6.28±0.92 vs. 4.48±0.93)

interpersonal communication and information management ability (19.81±1.09 vs. 17.00±1.28)

and teamwork and scientific research ability (11.44±1.27 vs. 9.25±0.87; all

P

<

0.05). There were no significant differences between the two groups in core values and professional literacy and medical knowledge and lifelong learning (both

P

>

0.05).

Conclusions

2

In undergraduate internships

the competency-oriented "TECK"teaching mode can significantly improve students' clinical operation and pathological diagnosis ability

and effectively cultivate their abilities of clinical skills and medical care

disease prevention and health promotion

interpersonal communication and information management

teamwork and scientific research.
