Abstract: Objective To evaluate the effect and improve medical students' practice abilities using the Sandwich teaching method in medical genetics course.Methods As the research object, 758 undergraduate students of Qiqihar Medical University in grade 2011 and 2012 were selected, including clinical medicine and medical inspection technology. There were 395 students of grade 2011 in the control group, and there were 363 students of grade 2012 in the experimental group. Control group adopted group discussion method, while the experimental group used the Sandwich teaching method. After the courses, scores of final exam, scores of class discussion and students' practice abilities were compared and analyzed between the two groups.Results The test result of experimental group was better than that of control group, it showed statistical difference(P<0.01). Class discussion's score of experimental group was higher than that of control group, it showed statistical difference(P<0.01). Each score of practice abilities of the experimental group was higher than that of control group, and showed statistical difference (all P<0.01).Conclusions The Sandwich teaching method obtained good teaching effect. Through the real cases, students have a strong thirst for medical clinical knowledge. It can improve the students' autonomous learning. On the other hand, it can dramatically improve medical students' professional abilities and professional qualities.
