Evaluating the Effectiveness of Curriculum Integration for Circulatory System Diseases in Cultivating Applied Talents

Abstract

Objective To investigate the integration of curriculum content on circulatory system diseases in Internal Medicine and electrocardiogram (ECG) in Diagnostics, and to assess its effectiveness. Methods The study targeted 161 undergraduate clinical medicine students enrolled in 2020. These students were randomly divided into traditional and integrated classes. The teaching activities for circulatory system diseases in Internal Medicine and ECG content in Diagnostics were conducted using traditional and integrated teaching methods, respectively. Comparison the application effects of two teaching modes. Results The practical training and theory scores of students in the integrated class were significantly higher than those in the traditional class. Additionally, students expressed greater satisfaction with the integrated teaching approach. These differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Integrating curriculum content on circulatory system diseases and ECG in the clinical medical specialty enhances students' mastery of theoretical knowledge and practical skills related to ECG and circulatory system diseases.
