Abstract: Objective To investigate the teaching effects of Sandwich teaching model in clinical teaching in the department of general surgery.Methods Totally 50 clinical medicine undergraduates were divided into the experimental group(n=25) and the control group(n=25) randomly.Sandwich teaching model was introduced to the experimental group while traditional teaching model was performed in the control group.The performances in theoretical and clinical reasoning tests were compared between the two groups, and the questionnaire investigation were also conducted and evaluated after the course.Results The clinical reasoning test score of the experimental group were higher than the control group (t=9.539,P<0.01), while the theoretical examination scores of two groups showed no significant difference(t=1.888,P>0.05). Questionnaire investigation showed that the students, commutation and expression ability, attention focusing and self learning willingness were better in the experimental group, but the students in the control group grasped the learning points better and had better feeling of class hour arrange, the difference was statistically significant (all P<0.05).Conclusions Sandwich teaching model can effectively improve students' interest in self-learning and clinical thinking ability, and worth be recommending in general surgery clinical teaching.
