Summary:This article was written by the Sichuan Provincial Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine, aiming at the teaching methods and practices of the "Traditional Chinese Medicine" course in Western hospitals. In the face of the challenges of small class time and wide range of content, how to effectively impart TCM knowledge has become the key to improving the quality of education. This article will introduce several innovative teaching methods, including PBL, CBL, LBL, and the application of multi-technology to enhance students' interest in learning, deepen understanding, and promote the development of Chinese medicine.

1.Application of the PBL Method

In the teaching practice of Sichuan Provincial Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine, PBL (Problem-Based Learning) is widely used as a discussion-based teaching method. For example, when teaching acupoint positioning, PBL and LBL (Lecture-Based Learning) are combined to explain different positioning methods first, and then deepen students' understanding and mastery of knowledge through practical operations.

2.Implementation of the CBL pedagogy

CBL (Case-Based Learning) teaching method to improve students' clinical practical ability through case discussions. When explaining the basic theories of TCM such as Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, combined with CBL and LBL methods, through typical case discussions, students will be helped to combine theoretical knowledge with clinical practice, so as to better understand and master TCM.

3.Optimization of the LBL methodology

The traditional LBL teaching method still occupies a place in the Sichuan Provincial Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Although it may ignore students' active learning, it has its irreplaceable advantages in systematically learning theoretical knowledge. Combined with PBL and CBL, LBL can develop students' innovation ability and problem-solving ability more comprehensively.

4.Diversification of teaching methods

With the development of multi-technology and network information technology, teaching methods have become more diversified. In the teaching of the Sichuan Provincial Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine, through the application of images, animations and other tools, such as when teaching the five elements of yin and yang, acupuncture and moxibustion meridians, the dynamic demonstration of images is used to deepen students' understanding and memory, and effectively stimulate students' interest in learning.

Summary:Through the teaching practice of the course of "Traditional Chinese Medicine" in Western hospitals, the Sichuan Provincial Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine has deeply realized that the combination of traditional and modern teaching methods is very important to improve the teaching effect and students' learning efficiency. The use of PBL, CBL and LBL and other teaching forms, as well as the application of multi-technology not only enriches the teaching content, but also improves students' interest and participation in learning. This integrated teaching approach enables students to gain a deeper understanding of the rich knowledge and practical application of TCM, and cultivates their clinical thinking and innovation ability. Through these innovative teaching strategies, the Sichuan Provincial Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine has contributed to the inheritance and development of traditional Chinese medicine, and laid a solid foundation for cultivating more medical talents with a solid foundation in traditional Chinese medicine and innovative practice ability in the future.
