Abstract: Interactive teaching is a teaching method that combines the advantages of multiple teaching methods and networked teaching to give full play to students as the main body and teachers as the leading role. This research took the training of pediatric clinical thinking ability for general practitioners from Peking University First Hospital as an example. The design and implementation process was described. The training effect was evaluated by questionnaire, knowledge exam and case analysis. The results showed that 51(82.3%) of the 62 participants were very satisfied with the training. The knowledge score after training (68.0±14.8) was higher than that before training (66.0±13.1), there was no statistically significant difference (t=-0.99,P=0.327). The case analysis assessment score after training (75.5±10.7) was higher than that before training (62.4±15.1), and it has statistically significant difference (t=-7.41,P<0.001). It can be seen that using interactive teaching helps to improve pediatric clinical thinking ability for general practitioners, which can be further promoted.
