Nursing students in junior college have less class time and weaker foundation com-pared with nursing undergraduates， therefore it is more difficult for them to learn pathphysiology. In order to improve the teaching effect， we adopt the following strategies in pathophysiology teaching： ① Guiding clinical nursing practice combining with specific situation in order to give students a deep understanding of pathophysiology knowledge and its significance. ②Urging students to review relevant basic knowledge before class and teacher to briefly introduce the basic knowledge before initiating class in order to reinforce the knowledge. ③Examples of daily life should be combined to make the abstract theory knowledge vivid. Teaching should revolve around the main line and key points should be highlighted. ④Dividing pathophysiology course into three units

and summary must be executed at the end of each unit.
