The scores of the experimental group were compared with control at the end of term. In addition, students and teachers were respectively interviewed using self-administered questionnaire to obtain their evaluation for PBL practice.RESULTS: The mean scores of PBL group(78.35±7.63)were significantly higher than control group(71.68±6.37)(PCONCLUSION:Using PBL teaching mode can highly improve the teaching effectiveness of clinical epidemiology, which is worth popularizing.
