Questionnaires and interviews were used to evaluate the learning experience of students in the SPOC integrated with live broadcasting model in pathophysiology curriculum. Results The results of questionnaire survey showed that 55.8%(24/43) students were generally satisfied with the curriculum design of pathophysiology and 55.8%(24/43) of them were satisfied with the teaching methods. The interview conclusions showed that students benefited from the content and form of SPOC and live integrated teaching method but they still complained of some weakness as compared to traditional teaching mode. They also gave some suggestions to optimize the current teaching pathway. The overall pass rate of international students was 100.0%(57/57) and the excellent rate was 36.8%(21/57).The formative evaluation showed a pass rate of 96.5%(55/57) with an excellent rate of 3.5%(2/57), a final evaluation pass rate was 85.9%(49/57) for international students and the excellent rate was 12.3%(7/57).
